Yet another id please! - Phystostegia - Farendwoman - 13-08-2023

One day I shall do “proper” labelling immediately instead of relying on my fading memory!
I think these little mauve things might be some sort of penstemon. 
(Similar, but not in the same league as the big blowsy “Arabesque” that are currently flowering their heads off!)

Try looking this up . Physostegia virginiana. I think that’s it.

Thanks SC - so many clever people on this forum.
What would I do without you all!


RE: Yet another id please! - Small chilli - 13-08-2023

All I do is copy you photo and get google lens to find other images the same on the internet.

Ive never heard of it! It looks like a cross between a foxglove / penstemon


RE: Yet another id please! - Farendwoman - 14-08-2023

I’ll cut some on Thursday and let you know if it’s any good for bunches, Scarlet.

The physostegia only lasted three days.
Pretty for a little home bunch …. But wouldn’t pop it in a bunch to sell.
