I got this shrub last year and finally saw a bloom today. It was sold to me as a Tabebuia Blue Shrub, not sure what it exactly is. The flower has some fragrance.

I am wondering if by sheer luck I have stumbled upon Radermachera kunming, a tree shrub I have been looking to get for some time??

Thank you for the thread. This plant is being sold under various names, from Rs. 300 to 1000.
I bought six and lost three this winter. When the leaves started falling I asked Lahore nursery and was told not to worry.
Know I know WHY I LOST THEM
