Commelina communis, the Asiatic dayflower, is an annual
herbaceous plant in the dayflower family,
Commelinaceae. The
blooms last for a single day and are distinctive with two relatively large blue
petals and one much reduced white petal. The three long
stamens are fertile, while the three short stamens are infertile. This
focus-stacked photograph of a C. communis flower was taken in a garden in
