I aim for a layered, successional planting in the garden. In this area the lemon drop flowers of the groundcovering Yellow Archangel (Lamium galeobdolon) are starting to fade but the mauve flowers of Greater Periwinkle (Vinca major) are still going strong. Rising above them are tall stems of the white flowered form of Honesty (Lunaria annua var. albiflora).

 Blue flowered Green Alkanet (Pentaglottis sempervirens) adds to the tapestry of colour.

  Purple flowered Honesty is mingling with the white. 

 White Honesty is the rarer of the two and very striking. Actually I didn't know it was going to be white until it came into flower!
