now that's serendipity! i love when something like that happens!
and such an intense blue, almost fluorescent. blue glaze is a beauty too :).
and i like the gradual subtle change of foliage and color that very small dense leaves create. sort of like a tapestry
...
when image searching for stuff you have no idea about (like happens to me a lot) the important idea is to think about what it resembles and then describing some identifying characteristic (that might be trivial, like 'large leaves' or 'small flowers' or 'tropical' in quotes with + in between). so, rosemary + 'bright blue flowers' + 'ground cover' - and search engine pulls all kinds of unrelated stuff that is similar - and you just scan very fast visually to get as close as you can, etc.
this one was not very easy, but on a 3rd try i hit it Big Grin
i get a kind of restless buzz when i can't identify smth: do it over and over until i find it. just can't give up! Shrug!
