It’s called plumbago for its color, which is supposed to be like Plumbum (Pb) or Lead on the periodic table. I have never seen lead with a blue tint, but I haven’t seen a lot of lead. This grows on a small bush in our yard. It is currently covered by these blossom clusters. We still have a lot of summer color and little autumn color.

This is just lovely, a gorgeous colour. We can only grow them as indoor plants here in the UK.
Thanks for the interesting info about the name. I've never seen lead with a blue tint either. Fav.
What a pretty blue! And I love how the blooms form a circle. Maybe that's how you composed the shot, Debbie. Regardless, I love it, however it came about) Fav
@365projectorgheatherb They grow in circular clusters of small blossoms, but sometimes the center blossoms are missing. I liked the comp of that cluster.
