Valerian

While the plumber was here fitting my new boiler I went round the garden cutting off the valerian which is now beginning to loose its flowers. I have enough of the stuff, so want to prevent it seeding. I left one head of the white valerian. If the cuttting I took doesn't root, I hope to get seeds for my friend, Tina.

Cutting of the heads also gives a second flush of flowers later in the season when my garden needs it - both for the colour and the insects!
