Because the Wild

This photo shows clusters of purple flowers with yellow centers growing on thin, woody stems. The blossoms resemble those of the potato bush (Solanum rantonnetii, also called Paraguay nightshade or blue potato bush), a member of the nightshade family.

The flowers are small, five-petaled, and spread across delicate, branching stems. The background is shaded by a tree trunk and foliage, creating contrast that makes the bright purple blooms stand out.
