Default RHS on the ball

It's good to know that behind the scenes they're quietly beavering away on
everyone's behalf. We had a letter from Wisley asking us to submit some
bits of Lepechinia chamaedryoides so Ray sent them a whole plant. Perhaps
some queries have been raised over other Lepechinias because we've had a
reply saying ours is indeed what it claims to be but also that 3 plants
labelled L. salviae sent to them all have proved to be L. hastata. They have
also asked if they can keep ours and plant it in their Mediterranean bed to
which we have, of course, agreed so we'll have to go and visit it! But it
goes to show that their efforts to maintain the integrity of e.g. The Plant
Finder are constant.
