I think this is not a monocot. This beautiful flower is called Blue Torenia (藍豬耳), of family SCROPHULARIACEAE (玄參科).

Thanks Wilkin. And the leaves are typical dicot one....So the column like structure is the wishbone-shaped stamens...

I have modified the title (from Orchid to Blue Torenia (藍豬耳)) and corresponding info and move the entry from Monocot to Plant in CUHK. Also removed the tags
