Plant identity help.
 

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.

Maybe Ceratostigma willmottianum? http://images.google.com/imgres?imgu...a%3DN%26um%3D1

Ceratostigma? Species a plumbaginoides, willmottianum; griffithii. You
will need to google to be sure which one. Lovely plant.
