Lovely cluster of these, but I’ve searched and can’t find a name for it, ideas?

    Sorry to disappoint you...not an orchid or a Helleborine.

    Maybe Nemesia sp or Diasica sp.
    I believe there is a sticky out part behind the flower ..a spur.
    Nemesia mostly have one spur.
    Diascia have 2 spurs.

    Oh that’s a shame! Once the latest rain shower has stopped I’ll look to see if it has a sticky out bit. There’s lots of them.

    Diascia pic to show 2 spurs at back of the flower.

    Diasica it is then! 2 spurs on the back. I have nemesia in pots and didn’t even put two and two together on that! New house and huge sloped garden at the back. I’m trying to identify as much as I can as a total novice!
