Or caryopteris. I love this plant yet I don’t. For shooting, at least. It’s got a fairly narrow window in which it blooms. But it’s so so so blue. Not many flowers are a pure blue. Love that. And the pollinators love it, too. So many varieties feed on this one. One of the things I don’t like about it is that there are always wonky shadows in the shots. This one…the leaves don’t do the lighting any favors. That said, the bees love it…and when it’s in bloom it’s a go-to flower for me. Just so hard to get great shots on it. Bee is fantastic in this one, though.
