Hi friends.Welcome to my another photography blog.I want to share some photos of another beautiful flower in this blog.

Asiatic dayflower

Asiatic dayflower, also known by its scientific name Commelina communis, is a herbaceous plant native to Asia but widely naturalized in other parts of the world, including North America, Europe, and Africa. It belongs to the family Commelinaceae, which includes other well-known plants such as spiderwort and wandering jew.

Asiatic dayflower is an annual plant that typically grows to a height of 30-60 cm (12-24 inches) but can reach up to 90 cm (35 inches) under ideal conditions. It has long, narrow, pointed leaves that are arranged alternately along the stem. The flowers are small, bright blue, and have three petals. They typically bloom in the summer and fall.

Asiatic dayflower is considered a weed in many parts of the world due to its aggressive growth and ability to compete with native vegetation. It is often found in disturbed areas, such as along roadsides, in gardens, and in agricultural fields. However, it is also sometimes grown as an ornamental plant for its attractive blue flowers and foliage.

The plant has been used in traditional Chinese medicine to treat a variety of ailments, including fever, inflammation, and constipation. It is rich in nutrients such as vitamins A and C, as well as minerals like iron and calcium. However, it should be noted that the plant also contains compounds that can be toxic in large amounts, so it should not be consumed without proper preparation and guidance from a qualified healthcare professional.
