In the Garden: Lychnis
When I grew these plants of Lychnis coronaria ‘Alba’ from my own saved seed, I didn’t imagine they’d become the centrepiece of the garden. They glow in the gloomy weather and are rather splendid.
It’s really hard to photograph white flowers, even in the rain, so apologies for the pic.

Re: glowing in the gloom
The foliage is quite soft and furry.

In my old garden I had the magenta, the white and a lovely white one with a pink eye. Nice plants but not long lived.
flowers and books
I enjoyed Rachel Hore's book A week in Paris but have just read her latest and thought it a bit weak. I think I'm put off Butterfly Summer!
Re: flowers and books
I will mark your words about the latest from Rachel Hore; I have enjoyed most of her books. There are good things about The Butterfly Summer. I suppose it wasn't what I was expecting from the author.
