Sunday afternoon and up to Pitlochry to Julia Corden's garden - her own one, not Explorers.

A Cassiope ... Julia will no doubt know which one?

What is the plant in the picture entitled "SRGC25MAY08 074.JPG"?

Could anyone identify this plant from the Taylors garden . It looks like a penstemon and if it is which one?

I used to grow it many years ago as Penstemon scouleri 'Albus'.  I have just checked Robert Nold's book and find scouleri is a subspecies of fruticosus.  He says the white form is much valued in UK.
