It looks like Otacanthus caeruleus, commonly called Brazilian Snapdragon:

Wow! Thanks, Plantladylin, You've nailed it! It is such a lovely thing in my garden, but I haven't seen it elsewhere. It definitely should be more well known.

It certainly is pretty ... and a bonus with the fragrant foliage!
