Yes, you and David Poole both got that one. I don't think I've seen it at
all but will have to do a hunt through the suppliers' catalogues!

The memory kicked in at lunch time while I was watching the local pair
of buzzards being mobbed by crows. It is Antirrhinum 'La Bella Red' -
such an inspired name don't you think? :-[

I must admit this isn't a plant I'd want myself but neither do I subscribe
to the 'only white plants' view, either. It's a good job we're all
different as to likes and dislikes. We had someone the other day asking for
advice on planting a south facing border and she intensely dislikes blue and
yellow. I'm not quite sure what Ray suggested for her but white would be
good!
Psssst. Probably being mobbed by rooks - one rook is a crow, several crows
are rooks, remember! Our rooks haven't yet returned from their summer
holiday - heaven alone knows where they go.

Thanks a lot, everybody!

I took these pictures at the Hampton Court Palace Gardens last Saturday.
