Is this the same plant on Leith Walk? The shape and railing look similar.

If so, it's Ceanothus impressus

I'd say so Janet. Well spotted! Ceanothus Impressus. Certainly impressed me.
The question now is "Will it survive if i plant it in my garden in North
Queensferry"?


this one

is in my garden in Bruntsfield: VERY cold and VERY damp, almost no sun
at all (maybe an hour max in summer). On the other hand, it is probably
quite well protected from frost. It's going to be very nice this year
(flower starting to bloom just now)
