To be honest Moti, I love all Lobelia. Just ordered seed three new (to me) species, plus one pre-ordered.

I love this one too Meanie, had it in the garden years until the cold winter, never got round to potting any up or collecting seed:-(, must grow it again, lovely picture :-)
I've grown a new one this year too thats just starting to flower a lovely purple one must get a picture, bought the seed from the RHS, at first I thought it was the same colour as 'Hadpsens Purple' that I already have, damn,but looking at them side by side it is different.
