| We have these plants growing next to a drain spout, and the area gets mostly shade. We really like this plant that's growing there but have no idea what it is. It has two opposite facing leaves, and there are about 2-3 sets of these opposite facing leaves on each stem. They are now starting to get these blue buds forming too.

| Looks like Commelina communis, an annual weed. |

| Agree on the ID but never could bring myself to dislike this weed although I tried, a little. The flowers really are blue, not purplish or pinkish. |
