Etymology
Torenia is a botanical name given to a group of small, colorful garden flowers, and many plant names come from a person's name. A helpful way to remember torenia is to picture its trumpet-shaped blooms as tiny 'torches' lighting a shady garden, which fits why gardeners grow it for bright color.
