That's the butterfly pea Centrosema pubescens packed with plenty of medicinal value. It can be used as treatment for snake bites, scorpion bites amd ulcer wounds. It shouldn't be confused with Clitoria ternatea also known as (butterfly pea) with a blue flower..

It’s called CLITORIA TERNATEA

Also known as BUTTERFLY PEA, BLUE PEA or ASIAN PIGEONWINGS

It’s a climbing vine with distinctive, delicate flowers that can be blue, purple, or sometimes pale lavender (like the one in your image).
The flower is often shaped like a butterfly or a seashell.
It’s native to tropical Asia and widely used for herbal tea, natural food coloring, and even traditional medicine.

If steeped in hot water, the petals produce a beautiful blue tea that changes color when you add lemon juice (turning it purple or pink

Such beauty.. forget, Nature was sculpted by a supreme being. For it to be this perfect, i'm assuming there are some copy and paste in some vital organs during human creation.
This one is still living in the past.
Humans have been genetically modifying flowers, plants and fruits for centuries now.

Yes! You got the idea.
Any plant that copied a natural phenomenon has something to do in that part.
To know what a plant represents, check its look.
E.g. Gingers helps in detoxification of veins and arteries, that's why it looks like vain. Mango, Beams - Kidney, Okra (slice it) you will see the formation of eyes that's why Okra & Carrotts are good for eyes etc.
