     While out cycling early yesterday morning I noticed that yet another plant 
was in bllom at the house with all the succulents.  This time, is was a 
smallish tree with grey-green foliage that had burst out in a full wonderous 
show of deep blue flowers:

     Looking closely, the flowers have a small, brilliant orange stamen that 
barely protrudes past the nose of the deep blue pea-like flower:

     I have no idea what species this is, but I know for certain that it is not 
native.  Judging from the owner's collection it's probably a South American 
species.
