Wonerful! I bought this knowing it had to be a veronica though it was labeled salvia. Now I know what its cultivar name is. Thank you. Isn't it the most ethereal blue ever?

It is a pretty blue, but I'd have to confess it's not my favorite - in part due to my unfair expectations (I was thinking it would be one of the more diminutive Veronicas, and it's a bit lanky for where it's planted. I've yanked out more than I left, but the few remaining plants are probably there to stay ;o)

how funny, I got it 'cause it IS taller and skinnier, guess I should say spike-ier - wonderful of nature to provide some thing for each of us.

That's a gorgeous shot, with the sun rays coming down.

Thanks! That photo is all that remains of the plant - it got moved/died a while back ;o)
