Ferula sp. from Turkey: an introduction made by Jim Archibald, perhaps the most interesting 'new' plant to flower in the garden this year.

Geranium 'Nimbus'

Geranium 'Nimbus', Euphorbia 'Excalibur' and Buphthalmum 'Dora'

Allium sphaerocephalumHyssopus officinalis, Sedum 'Red Cauli'

  2. H Viola cephalonica? (as in the picture "Viola, unnamed cultivar from Broughton, Peeblesshire")

    Is it?! I;m trying to get to see this flower (call it more of a quest!) as it is only found on the top of Mt Ainos, Kefalonia in Greece.

    Is it possible to get this Viola anywhere else? I thought not but am I wrong??
