Pastels

This linaria, 'Purple Toadflax' is definitely not purple. I am selecting the more interesting seedlings of this non-troublesome native flower.

 Penstemon Stapleford Gem, one of my old favourites, is looking good at the moment. Sometimes wrongly sold as Sour Grapes because of the initials.

And a clematis being established in a hard-pruned very old box hedge that illustrated why box hedges should not be left unclipped for 50 years.
