Me again, sorry lots of gardening questions today!
In my garden there is a tree or very large shrub that I honestly thought was dead when we moved in. It has very pale bark. In the spring it got covered with small bright pale green leaves and it's now covered in lovely dark purple flowers. I'm so glad we didn't assume it was dead and chop it down!
Any ideas what it is? The flowers have soft, papery petals about the size of small roses. My dad is stumped (he's not often stumped!).
