It looks like a Princess Flower, Tibouchina urvilleana.

That's it. Thanks. Not exactly for xeriscaping, from what it says in the article, but very pretty.

Yup, it's a Princess Flower all right. Up here on the coast they do spectacularly well and don't need irrigation once established. But they don't like hard freezes at all, no sirree... last January's week in the mid-20s burnt mine back to the roots, but it did come back this year and is now flowering again! Yay for flowers in January!
