Re: orange flower

Hello Chantal and Catherine
Thank you for replying.  The spicata is pictured in Beth Chatto Garden Web site  http://www.bethchattoshop.co.uk/shop/11/217/index.htm  at the bottom of the page and I think I can be purchased there or at Digging Dog nursery:  http://www.diggingdog.com/pages2/perennialsnop.php .  The Alcea rugosa looks splendid, although it is not the plant that I grew.  There is a picture of it on the Annies Annuals web site www.anniesannuals.com .
Many thanks,
Anna
