Thanks Carol! This variety was called Mona Lavender. There were a number of flowers on one stem, like a snapdragon - but a longer flower.

Yes, I did see that one funnily enough!  Very pretty plants and such a variety.

Hi

A fine shot of this little gem the image works well - you seem to be getting good results by combining two shots


All the best

I like the unique subject, good job isolating it from the surroundings.

I agree with the others about the isolation (to feature this delicate bloom) often hard to accomplish in a greenhouse. Nice work.
