Beautiful Willem, looks similar to Hewitt's Pink, but am not 100% certain as there are quite a lot of these Pinky/red with white throat varieties

G'day Willem,

I sent your picture to a friend of mine who is a university botanist and specializes in Penstemon. She thinks your plant is Penstemon hartwegii.

I hope you're enjoying your summer down under. I'm in Michigan, USA and spent two hours today raking 10" of snow off my roof. The low tonight is 8 degrees F. It'll be a long time before I see my Penstemon bloom.

Have an extra Foster's for me.

Cheers!

Jim
