Trachystemon orientalis

How lovely! Is this the one you were asking for ID on recently Dawn? Its really pretty.

Not heard of this one had to look up, Stated tough, read invasive?

Very special look about it.

IS THAT A SORT OF BORAGE DAWN? IT'S VERY NICE.

I thought Borage to , I must look it up .....

one for my wish list Dawn. Stunning.

Yes a type of borage, I read about it, spreads, big leaves and takes full shade so I hope it fights against hogweed!

Very pretty colour. Fingers crossed it fights the dreaded hogweed for you!

Pretty blue flowers, another new one to me, you have found some most interesting plants Dawn..

Beth Chatto’s Woodland book is amazing Dotty, she recommends, a bit of a thug but great in shade so useful for me.
