Plumbago auriculata
A bundle of flowers I found while going through my pictures in my deviantart account. ---- Plumbago is an evergreen shrub with whip-like semiwoody stems that form a loose, rounded mound 3-10 ft (0.9-3 m)high with a similar spread. The oblong leaves are a fresh, light yellowish green color. The sky blue flowers are 1 in (2.5 cm) long tubes expanding into 5 petals spreading about 1 in across. The flowers are borne in rounded terminal clusters 6 in (15 cm) across and look quite a bit like phlox flowers. Plumbago blooms all year long except for the coldest winter months. The cultivar, 'Royal Cape' has intense cobalt blue flowers. (Floridata)
Pretty sure I found this in a garden somewhere :3
