@rosamund2606 Thank you - we have lots of the pink ones too, but I now keep a lookout for the white form since discovering it last year💮

@edmondslyn @wildflower_hour @BSBIbotany That’s so beautiful - I had no idea there’s a white one. We have the very common pink herb Robert in our woodland garden, still pretty
