I had a feeling if anyone would know it would be you, purplepassion

But, did you know that it's name comes from Lewis and he named it after Clark, of the Lewis and Clark Expedition?? It looked familiar to me and sure enough I have it on a tote bag...with the flowers Lewis recorded during the great expedition.

These two men are Rick's favorite adventurers...beautiful flower...very lucky gardener...take good care of it

Wishing you very well (^_~)

WOW it certainly does look like that apart from being more purple. But if it is a native of California what on earth is it doing in the middle of England!
