Title: ID Please, grown from AGS seed but lost info.
Post by: Slug Killer on June 28, 2010, 11:26:56 AM

Hi, This was grown from AGS seed  but I can't ID it and the label I put on has long since faded.

Thanks in advance.

David

A nice pink form of Horminum pyrenaicum  :-\, by the looks of it,  David - or a close approximation!

This picture is more accurate of the colour as the first was taken in full sunlight.

Ah, yes, we can see the flower shape better now, too.... I was barking up the wrong genus, as I thought I might be!!  :-X
Bjørnar has hit the spot with Stachys macrantha
To the rescue again, eh, Bjørnar ? 8)
