A neighbor asked me to look at her "butterfly bush". Well, right away
I knew it wasn't the typical butterfly bush that attracts
butterflies. The blooms themselves look like small butterflies.
I have done a lot of searching but have not been able to identify it.
I know it came from North Carolina and is a fall bloomer. Individual
blooms are about the size of a quarter. Can anyone help?

That's it, many thanks. With your help I was able to do a little
research. It's also known as Butterfly Bush, Oxford Bush, Cambridge
Bush (Clerodendrum myricoides 'Ugandense' ) It comes in many shades &
patterns of blue.
