Sisyrinchium, Striatum "Aunt May"


Sisyrinchium,  Striatum    "Aunt May"

I was smitten as soon as I saw this wonderful attractive plant and especially when I saw its name, My Aunty May passed away five years ago so will have this loely plant to remind me of her. Now for the details, long spikes covered with beautiful trumpet shaped purple and yellow striped flowers, it is evergreen with long narrow cream-yellow pointed leaves. My nex ticture will show Aunt May planted up;0)
