Hi,
Whilst strolling around the precincts of Peterborough Cathedral, I came upon this blue flowering bush, growing quite wide and about three feet tall. When in full flower it must have looked magnificent, luckily there were quite a few flowers still open for me to photograph. Any ideas what it might be please? Mike Derby |

"Garrapata" replied: Ceratostigma sp. -- Spot on! It IS a Ceratostigma, C. willmottianum. I note that they do best when growing in full sun against a wall. This particular specimen is growing facing due west against a large stone wall. Thanks for your help. MD |
