The fragrance on this was just lovely and I understand some of this very large group of plants is grown for use in perfumes. It is a member of the borage family and can be toxic in large quantities for animals. But it's color and fragrance is striking.

Kathy, by viewing your wonderful image, thought at first sight that you've provided us with an an image of a flowering lilac, but see on closer look now (mainly because of the shape of the leaves) that it's a species of a Helotropium.
Wonderful floral contribution again!

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust
