Should have read your msg. before replying to Charlie, Jennifer!

I think L sativus is a rather steely/electric blue - I'm pretty sure
that's the species I've grown in the past, and it is certainly a
striking colour.


Well, steely isn't right. This was sort of dusty, I'd say. I think/hope
one of the gardeners is going to email us about the Hosta, so I'll see if he
can find out what it is from one of his colleagues. It was so tiny and so
unobtrusive that we almost missed it altogether.


There is something called Lord Ansons Pea but I have never grown it that
is supposed to be a bright blue
