One of our native plants but not used very often
Flowers over a long period and how pretty is that?

Only seen this once on holiday in Devon or Somerset, they called it Bastard Balm but no one knew why such a pretty flower had such an ugly name.

I agree w Simbad, looks very much like an orchid. It's very pretty :)

You should see it in Devon Grindle even in the hedge rows, Devon is one of the few places it flourishes?

Beautiful. Is it a woodland type plant? I could imagine it growing in shade under trees. Or does it need sun!

Sorry Vicky - I missed your question - I wrote a blog called 'They certainly made up for it' in November. It's still there, if you want to read it.
Paul - mine is in a shady area with only a couple of hours of sun a day.
