Caryopteris

Me too am I right in thinking it has a nice fragrance too ?

Is this Worcester Gold Spritz?

I don't think they have a strong scent, Bb.

No, Dd. This has grey-green leaves.

Oh thought the leaves quite fragrant Spritz go and give them a squeeze ..this also known as Blue Spirea ?

OK -..............................................................I'm back.

Yes, they have a pleasant aromatic scent. :-))

Lol :~))

Well, it wasn't raining (for a change!) and the shrub is three steps from the front door, so easy-peasy! lol.

Which variety is that one - I particularly like the flowers and it's not like the C. clandonensis I'm growing

Yes, it is C. x clandonensis, but its name is 'Kew Blue'. I suspect that makes the difference, Bamboo!

How small are they?

I have C. clandonensis 'Summer Sorbet' and i'm still waiting for the buds to open up.

The height of mine is 2.5' and the leaves are a variegated gold and green and a slightly deeper blue.

Yes, that's about right for height - they are very small shrubs.

This is a lovely blue and very delicate Spritz.

I have two more - different names, and they are still in bud.

Something to look forward to then SPritz

Absolutely! :-))

It's not been a bad day today a bit cloudy but at least it's been warm. Two friends popped in on the offchance that we would be in. It's so nice when that happens, so we've been chatting catching up and putting the world to rights.

We've seen the sun popping in and out of clouds - it's windy, but warm! I've been re-planting my containers - just taking a break!

We all need to stop sometimes - nice to have a really good excuse!

Just got Peter in as it's raining cats and dogs and the angels are moving their furntiure around rather loudly up there!!!! Did managed to deadhead some plants and pick the beans.

We had a very mixed day, sunshine and showers - but heavy rain is forecast for tomorrow!
