How long has it been when I planted these blue Ternates from seeds? Less than six months I think, well it was during the height of the pandemic that was when I started working on my small patio garden.
From a small seedling it now had grown bigger. The branches and tendrils are ever reaching out into the open and holding on to whatever space they can reach. The color is really vibrant blue. This is the reason I got into planting these plants because of the color of the flowers.
At first, there were lots of flowers and that was it. I had been waiting for some pods to come out and after a few weeks or maybe a month, this one pod showed hope. Then one pod at a time. I noticed that after the flowers had bloomed, some of them will dry out but will then turn into pods. This is what I had observed.
Look at this wooden post it had cling onto. I planted it on a medium size pot then left it by the patio and grow. I read online the flowers can be added to a tea while steeping. A flower or two will do. There were some benefits people talk about but that could be another topic. For now let me just be inspired looking at the fruits of my labor.
