The ceanothus has grown well here in the South Devon climate and is in full flower. There are many different varieties. They were often referred to by Raymond Chandler in his "noirish" private detective stories, such as "The Big Sleep". This is not "Bay City" however, but Torbay, as evidenced by the palm leaves creeping into the top of the picture.
