Clerodendrum ugandense  (Clerodendrum ugandense (Blue glory bower))

Another plant that has taken all summer to get going! But finally, my two metre tall C.ugandense is in full bloom.

Excellent photo and beautiful plant :o)))
How do you manage to get blue to still look so blue.
My camera makes it a bit washy blue and turns purple blue too ?

All summer to get going. It should have started flowering back in March. :>)

Thanks guys!

PA - to be honest it has got a little straggly this year as I put it out too early (and the summer hasn't really been warm enough).

Mushy - my camera struggles with some (visually identical even) blues. However, with this plant it comes out true if snapped in full sun or with low intensity flash.

Delonix - it was blooming beautifully in March as it was still in the conservatory!
