Strongylodon_Macrobotrys_2.jpg (Strongylodon macrobotrys (Blue jade vine))

Went to Oxford Botanic Gardens this morning.
This is one of the most amazing plants that I've seen.
It originates from the Phillipines.

In bloom again at the moment David. I put fresh pics up yesterday.
I think that although the colour is not as unique as I once thought, there can be no other plant that produces such an abundant number of blooms in such a concentrated display. This is what really makes it's impact so huge for me.
