This flower grows very aggressively. It was started from a cutting from my grandfather many years ago and it continues to grow very aggressively, outcompeting other plants for growing space. After some research I discovered it is called Asiatic Day flower (Commelina communis). It is native to southeast Asia and has been used for food, fodder, medicine and dye. Since it grows so well I am going to supplement it with my life stock feed and maybe pick some flowers to add to a salad. They are a fascinating plant and I recommend further reading on them.
