This was one of my favorites! I love the sun shining through the grass heads. Do you know the identity of the grass and flowers?

I think these are likely to be Lythrum "Dropmore Purple" and Pennisetum "Hameln". Used at another RHS garden at Harlow Carr. I love ornamental grasses, they add so much to a perennial border, especially when backlit like this. Lovely photo Alan.
