Clown Flowers or Torenia

This is an annual that is very easy to maintain and gives splashes of purple, violet, and pink starting in late summer and usually ending in fall.
We grow it in pots on the deck, usually collecting the seeds in fall when they've dried and sowing them in the pots in spring. The seed heads are super-easy to gather. They look like little flounders at the base of each flower. 

It's a little difficult to control what color comes up, but the guessing is kinda fun.
