Asclepias Ice Ballet & Cosmos sulphureus

            A nice fresh white Asclepias, cooling the summer border but also worth looking at more closely - as are all Asclepias. The flowers are very like those of the tender Hoya vine, and of very unusual design. 
This may be an albino form of the normally pink A.incarnata but maybe not. The foliage is more like A.purpurascens. All this group are worth growing and strangely neglected in the UK.

ps the Cosmos is an annual species, easy to grow but not as cold tolerant as the common pink and white C.bipinnatus
