I'm sure there is a plant of this in flower at the Chelsea Physic Garden in
London - the leaves are much paler - not glaucous like c.major & the flowers
are reddish. I'm at the garden again on wednesday so will check.

Anybody know if this is a real name? One of our actual Med. members,
perhaps?
I was shown a plant by a friend in Yorkshire the other day, grown from
seed given to her by Sally Razelou of the MGS. Sally had said it was
C. r. Looked indistinguishable from C. major to me. So, if S. r. is
indeed a real name, how DOES it differ?
