Thanks for this look at Harlow Carr Cliff. Long time since I was there and I remember it chiefly because it was there that a pushy American, who couldn't wait to get to the front of the queue, shoved my brand new, expensive camera from my hands and smashed it. Spoilt my day, for some reason.  Good to see a few NZers doing well in the alpine house.

There is ALWAYS a place kept at the table for you, Maggi ... usually between Diane and her sister Carol ... nothing like a bit of competition, eh? 
(And please don't try the punchline; 'And that is nothing like a bit of competition') ... I've seen those girls eat!

Mmmm, I suppose it could be, a veronica certainly but such an excruciating blue. Much better than my form of it.

Excellent series about this Harlow Carr event Cliff, and super pictures as usual.
You showed in one of the first series a Syringa. Do you by accident know if this is a S chinensis?

A variety of Veronica austriaca ?

So sorry, Lesley ... even the 'pretty please' won't stir my memory or produce an image with the label on it.  The colour is pretty accurate though ... perhaps our friend in charge of the new alpine house is reading this?  

Apologies Luit, as the rain was imminent I decided to collect images instead of labels ... and then the rain fortuitously stayed away.  Can anyone assist dear Luit please?
