Blue beauty

Needed to post something bright and colourful today, especially as it has been snowing and was -15C (wind chill -23C) when I went out this morning! These dainty little blue flowers are growing in the Butterfly House at the Calgary Zoo. I like the way they are two shades of blue and have a "spoon" shape. Need to get a less "messy" photo another time. Just found the ID for this flower: Clerodendrum myricoides 'Ugandense'. Comes from Tropical Africa.
