I was thinking this evening that you don't often see Phlomis grow these

The same goes for Genista hispanica

I'm very fond of Phlomis and we used to get a lot popping up here and
there in the garden. Now you mention it, I haven't noticed any in the
lasst year or so. Perhaps it got drowned out.


We visited a yellow book garden on Sunday which had a large clump of it. And
there was one gamely hanging on in our north facing front garden last year.
This thread has reminded me, I must go and check for it.
