Duranta is one of my favorite plants with strong blue to purple colours. We also have the ones with white flowers. I notice that butterflies really like to stop by these flowers. So, I planted six plants in the garden just for butterflies, small birds and insects. We call duranta “tien-yod’ which means drops from candle or candle-tears! Because the berries look yellow like the colour of candles used in my country!
We hardly use white candles which are normally used in funeral ceremonies.

Cheers.
