Torenia fournieri or Look at the little beauty that volunteered

All sorts of things pop up in my yard, and before I just pull them out as weeds. I like to see what they are. This is my latest volunteer.


I wasn't sure what it was. My friend Nuytsia@Tas www.flickr.com/people/nuytsia_pix/ gave me a speedy and proper id!!!! It's called (Torenia fournieri) or Blue Wings and it has most unusual looking flowers! It must be a little invasive because, I don't grow this and it is the second time one of these has sprouted.
