I'm just waiting for my friend to arrive at the station and then we are going in. Going to get a soaking by all accounts!! Amazing how quick the weather can change.
Do what l do, when everyone heads indoors when it rains, head in the opposite direction and look at the show gardens 😁. Have a lovely day @Crazybeelady .
This was on the penstemon stand. Any ideas what variety it might be? Very small flowers. I didn't realise they were related to foxgloves, snap dragons and linaria, but it makes sense.
That's one of the Penstemon digitalis (foxglove beard-tongue).
@Heartinthedirt just posted a pic of their own 'Onyx and Pearls' variety. I have Penstemon digitalis ‘Husker Red Strain’ in the garden, which looks quite similar. Definitely looks different from the ordinary Penstemons, I love mine. Oh, and splendid (half-hardy bronze foliage too.
