Is it Vitex agnus-castus?
ReplyDeleteAdonis Blue Butterfly Bush
ReplyDeleteI looked at it again and agree with tina above=a vitex or we call it Chaste Tree Lilac
ReplyDeleteIt does look like one of my butterfly bushes...
ReplyDeleteIt is Beautiful, whatever it is. Looks similar to a butterfly bush that we had at a prior home.
ReplyDeleteDoes it attract butterflies??
That's pretty gorgeous. Is it a Vitex?
ReplyDeleteI won't confirm it yet but here are the two guesses so far:
ReplyDeleteVitex or Chaste Tree
Butterfly Bush
I can see where people might think either one of these.
The leaves on my puter look a little like rosemary too. Wish I was smelling it and looking closer at the leaf.
ReplyDeleteI think the Butterfly bush some are suggesting is Buddleia davidii and that's an intelligent guess, but I'm pretty sure this is Vitex agnus-castus.
ReplyDeleteI name it Audrey II!
ReplyDeleteSo far now we have:
ReplyDeleteButterfly Bush
Vitex
Rosemary
Audrey II
Well I suppose everyone should have a name why not Audrey II. One question, who was Audrey the First? ;)
You've obviously never seen the movie Little Shop of Horrors. Audrey II was the name of the man-eating plant voiced by Leo Stubbs of the Four Tops. Audrey I was the ditzy flower arranger at the flower shop the plant was named after!
ReplyDeleteLooks like ceanothus to me.
ReplyDeleteCould this be some type of sage?
ReplyDeleteOh that Audrey! I haven't seen or heard anything about Little Shop of Horrors in years. Didn't catch the reference. :)
ReplyDeleteIf it is Southern California my guess is Salvia leucantha.....
ReplyDeletepurple sage....did you smell the crushed leaves?
