Title: spring flowering pea at Sissinghurst
Post by: mark smyth on November 17, 2011, 11:43:22 PM

I'm watching a programme about Sissinghurst thats on TV now.

They're showing the garden in May and briefly showed a yellow pea family plant where the flowers emerged from a spike that looked like a Verbascum. All plants were mentioned except this one

What is it?

Ain't that typical? I mean that they mentioned everything except the one you wanted to know about. ::)

Thermopsis?


You could have taken a quick photo of the screen.  Maybe they will repeat the programme.
