Californian Lilac

Loving that this plant is happy where I planted it a couple of months ago.
When we bought the house there was a lovely one like it, a few years old and beautiful. A severe frost finished it a few years later... so I'm trying to restore the original effect.
Tied up several plants as 8forecast for tomorrow is wet wet wet and very strong winds! A bit of a shock to the system after our lovely May.
Three good things
1. Two hours in the garden before work, tidying up and clearing more weeds.
2. Achieved more today at my laptop... so glad about that.
3. Watching the baby bluetits again....
and sent a little video of the parents popping in and out of the birdbox to Mum.....she was delighted!

This is what I call ceanothus! But ours are full bushes - this looks like a climber. Its a beautiful blue!

Yes that is also one of the names on the label but I thought I was more likely to remember the one I used here! 😄😄

Good idea, Sarah - it took me years to remember ceanothus!

Never heard of this particular lilac but I love the colour if it... use google & find out if I can get one for the new garden.
