Peter James grew penstemons for many years and his academic knowledge of botany together with his patience in sifting through old records enabled him to assemble a unique picture of the genus. He was recently involved in genetic research attempting to elucidate some of the origins of the popular hybrids. He died in 2002. David Way trained as a horticulturalist at Cambridge University and the R.H.S. Garden at Wisley. As well as a career in teaching and research, he has for many years been a member of the executive committee of the Hardy Plant Society, and is the author of their booklet, Penstemons. He writes, lectures and has broadcast on horticultural topics. David lives in Hunton, Kent.
