Y'all are GOOD! @plantladylin the photo from the database is dead on with mine. (Veronica spicata) The Sunny Border Blue is too purpley. So I looked at the other spicata photos and lo and behold @Joy and I did a trade many yrs ago, it had to have come from her.
@greene well let me hold on to this one for awhile.I know you are kidding but I do have some nice hedychium gingers that would grow nicely in your 8b garden.
