Common name = Bergklapperbos

Flower = white

Fruit = split capsules

Foliage = blue-green

Height = 1.5m

Type = shrub

Zone = 9

This is all I can find on this plant.  Can someone else translate
Bergklapperbos??  My uneducated guess is caryopteris-like shrub
growing on the side of a mountain. :-) *or* next to the public
outhouse in a small town on the side of a mountain.
