Hi everyone,
this is one of my favorite plants, maybe because its flowers are blue, my favorite color. they open in the morning and close again after midday.
could you please ID it for me?
thanks!

Very popular here in Hawaii. Easy as pie to root cuttings - even just in a glass of water. :-)

A friend gave me one of these a few weeks back. Put it in a hanging pot today. It'll only get sun for the first half of the day. Hope it'll be happy with that.
