    I've just received some seeds through an email swap;
    Lobelia montana..................
    [​IMG]

    It's an upright perennial Lobelia that forms arching stems. Best of all it's supposedly happy in full shade, so it should be ideal for a tricky spot that I'm trying to fill.

    Also got some seed for Isoplexis isabelliana..............

        Thanks all! I have a soft spot for the perennial Lobelias, so this looks a good 'un. Grows at fair altitude in the mountains of Vietnam so it has a chance of being hardy.
