Hi, There is a medium shrub flowering now with a very intense blue
small flower, I did know the name of it as a friend told me, |I
remember finding difficulty pronouncing it. The leaf is small and when
not flowering is quite insignificant, only when flowering it becomes a
head turner. Often seen in landscape planting in parks, roundabouts etc
Any help appreciated. Mike.

Caryopteris?
