I have been trying to get a half decent photograph of a ceratostigma flower for weeks. My virtual bin is full of the pathetic, the out-of-focus and the unremarkable. This photo is barely a quarter decent but I have given up trying for even near perfection. Soon it will be too late to ask the question, “can there be a better autumn blue?”.

Ceratostigma is one of my top five go-to perennials! Love the flower color, love its autumn color, love the way it fills in (realizing that for some people that may not be a plus, LOL). Yes it comes a bit late to the spring party but hey, nobody’s perfect. 😉

I really think it is under-rated, glad you have such good taste, but I think I knew that already! 🙂
