name that flower !
This is an annual that I was given last year. It's not in any of my seed
catalogs that I can tell. The stuff in the background is Astilbe, that I know. But what is this thing with mint-like leaves and viola-like blue and purple flowers?? Help! thanks, Lee http://home.att.net/~slither/namethatflower.jpg |

Wow, Baine! You must really know your plants!
Out of curiosity, I googled for pictures of Torenia -- interestingly, most of them seem to be in Japan -- here's one that you might find interesting: http://www2.big.or.jp/~mick/diy/hana/torenia.jpg Anne Lurie NE Raleigh "Baine Carruthers" wrote in message . ..

That's Clown Mix Torenia. They thrive in shady conditions and are upright
and bushy. There is also another Torenia that trails out of baskets that does well in shady spots. Those flowers are a beautiful blue color and similar in it's bell shape flower.
