Like a small gorse, except blue. No seeds at this time of year,

But what is it? It looked an excellent plant for a dry, sunny

There was a guy who put photos of a blue flowered broom up here a few

Hedgehog broom or something like that was the verdict (I just searched
the newsgroup; Dave Poole identified it as Erinacea).

What a fantastic colour - I want that. I wonder if it's available in
UK.......
