ive never seen BL with flowers on the top like that
dont mean it coulkdnt be
but the one in my neighbors yard floweres on the leave stems
leaves do look like that though

is it thorny?
young BL should have lots of little thorns along the leaf stems

Progress might have been all right once but it's gone on for far too long.
