Visitors to this page have left the following comments| Lori Skulski | Jun 22, 2008 | I think the leaves on this plant suggest that it is Incarvillea delavayi rather than I. mairei, which has simple, more-or-less ovate leaves. Sure looks like you're right, Lori - thanks. I've shuffled my pages around accordingly. |
