Neat pictures, Monterey. Have you seen this website: http://www.meden.demon.co.uk/Malvaceae/Alyogyne/Alyogyne.htm...

I believe that I have either "Monterey Bay" or "Purple Delight™," and I also have "Santa Cruz," which is a much lighter lavender. It's neat that yours changes color to blue.

Maxine, these are perennial shrubs/trees in our zones. I don't have any seeds right now, but the seeds are difficult to get to germinate. The link that I posted above says they need scarification for successful germination.
