About Flower
Aparajita is commonly known as Asian pigeonwings, Vishnukanta, bluebellvine, blue pea, butterfly pea, cordofan pea and Darwin pea family Fabaceae.
In India, it is revered as a holy flower, used in daily puja rituals. The flower is special in offerings of Lord Vishnu, Lord Shiva and Goddess Durga. The plant symbolizes invincible resolute in Hinduism, hence called Aparajita. The species name is thought to derive from the city of Ternate in the Indonesian archipelago, from where Linnaeus's specimens originated.
It is a perennial herbaceous plant, with elliptic, obtuse leaves. It grows as a vine or creeper, doing well in moist, neutral soil. The most striking feature about this plant is the color of its flowers, a vivid deep blue; solitary, with light yellow markings. They are about 4 cm (1.6 in) long by 3 cm (1.2 in) wide. Some varieties yield white flowers.

The fruits are 5–7 cm (2.0–2.8 in) long, flat pods with six to ten seeds in each pod. They are edible when tender.

It is grown as an ornamental plant and as a revegetation species (e.g., in coal mines in Australia), requiring little care when cultivated. As a legume, its roots form a symbiotic association with soil bacteria known as rhizobia, which transforms atmospheric N2 into a plant-usable form (a process called nitrogen-fixing), therefore, this plant is also used to improve soil quality through the decomposition. of nitrogen-rich plant material.
