This is lovely just the same, however it is not blue silk. Summer Sky is very pretty and a periwinkle krinkled blue with white throat!

I think I have found the ID for this one, however, I need final confirmation first, will let you know for certain soon: for now I think it is Japanese Akathukinoumi

It looks like my 'Blue Silk-not blue silk'. I think I bought these off ebay 2 years ago from someone named Robin. I see 'Akathukinoumi' on ebay now, it looks the color this one is in the afternoon.

gardenrocker, I agree, yours looks like the one on ebay as well, I think this is one and same plant! Your leaves also look identical to mine. Thanks for sharing your photo, I need to go out and get more pictures tomorrow!!

LOL this one has been properly ID'd, it is 'Akathukinoumi', and I guess it is pretty hard to get the color accurate with a digital camera so that was part of my ID'ing problem :)
