I agree, hard not to want to bath your garden in this color! So many blooms, so clear. Notice the blooms are pendent. I wonder if just too heavy or if the cultivar.

Hmm, it looks differently than the other images, not only color wise but as you mention, the blooms hang and the other shots show upright blooms.
