    Christer I think your beautiful blue flowers are Solanum Laciniatum/Kangaroo Apple/Poroporo.

    It was really eye-catching :stew1: I saw it when I walked around in a botanical garden near Stockholm.

    well, i googled to see more pics.
    all the pics i found were lila/purple flowers, some with a little yellow in the middle.
    looks like this photo above was ... heavily digitally engineered ???
    what i see is a perfect blue...
    :)
