I have a picture of a very nice flower, but somehow I missed the tag for it 
I really appreciate if you can ID this flower!!
Thank you

Christer I think your beautiful blue flowers are Solanum Laciniatum/Kangaroo Apple/Poroporo.

It was really eye-catching I saw it when I walked around in a botanical garden near Stockholm.

well, i googled to see more pics.
all the pics i found were lila/purple flowers, some with a little yellow in the middle.
looks like this photo above was ... heavily digitally engineered ???
what i see is a perfect blue...
