I think they might be. The ones I saw at Wakehurst Place
the other day, we first saw from a path "behind" them and
they were facing our way. We then went to a path on the
opposite side of them and they were still facing us. (Or
perhaps they were just turning round to laugh at our funny
faces.) Just looked them up in Chiltern Seeds and they say
that they are "borne all the way around the stem and held
horizontally to display to better advantage the throat
markings". That's why they stood out, I could see into them
better. I'm definitely going to get a packet of seeds.
