Project Blue: Take Two

I took this at work this morning in the gardens outside the canteen. A row of indigenous plumbago shrubs have been trimmed into a hedge, and there are a few brave flowers still around (even though it's winter).

I envy people who can take shots like that. It's so clean and clear.

Wow! Exceptional photo! I do think maybe my flowers are plumbago. Maybe the climactic difference here keeps them small. I can't imagine my neighbor's shrubs ever becoming a hedge.
