Toadflax

This is the new bed constructed since last summer when a leylandii hedge was removed. The picture shows 'purple toadflax' in the linaria family. They are wildflowers which arrived naturally. Having seen them grown and labelled in the Welsh Botanic Garden, I am selecting the best forms such as this glorious pale pink. The purple form is in the foreground. Seen from the road, they attract very favourable comment.
