The Butterfly Pea is a petite perennial vine that blooms all year. It got its name because it is a host plant for Skipper butterflies. It is found just about everywhere in Florida except perhaps for mangrove swamps. It likes to climb on other vegetation especially grasses where it can be found growing in clusters. This picture was taken in the grassy area bordering the Critical Wildlife Area. It can also be found in the swells on the very south end of the island and at Bowditch Park. There are three species of Centrosema found in Florida.
