Hi,
your beautiful mystery plant is a Clerodendron ugandense.
Gorgeous !
by: GardenJoy

What a beautiful flower ! You are right .. it looks like a butterfly in flight ! .. the darker blue "tongue" almost reminds me of a lobelia.
I am really interested to hear if anyone can identify it !

Blue sky vine?
by: Anonymous

Janis, check Bengal clock vine with common name of Blue Sky vine (Thunbergia grandiflora)
It's tropical but survives to zone 8a, which central Georgia may be in. Just guessing-
