Try this enchanting little wishbone flower, also dubbed clown flower for its vividly marked flowers that are said to resemble the face of a clown. It's a wonderful, relatively new choice for shade. The flower shape resembles tiny snapdragons, mouths wide open and showing off delicate throats marked with a contrasting color.
Wishbone Flower
I have shared before a tiny violet flower that I do not know the name yet. And later found out that it's called Torenia or Wishbone Flower. Thanks to Digital Flower Pictures for leaving a comment and telling me the flower's name.
Today I'm sharing to you another shade of Wishbone Flower, this time it's a white, light pink and still has a yellow shade at the center.
Here's some information about Torenia from Better Homes and Gardens.

Torenia grows easily from seed sown indoors in pots or outdoors in the ground. This little clown flower blooms nonstop until frost.

What a beautiful little flower. It does resemble the face of a clown but certainly not as scary.
