You can name it yourself if it really is a new variety but, for the name to be recognised, it has to conform with the International Code of Nomenclature for Cultivated Plants.

Good idea, Carlton23, Here's the link, hope it works http://s1103.photobuc...m/albums/g466/str100/
sorry, a little description wouldnt go amiss either! Its not very tall, about 60cm, and when the flowers are just opening the lower "tongue" petal is a buttery yellow. The petals are split and it almost looks like a orchid flower. Heres another pic that shows it all a little clearer

Emeritus, it is very similar but the bottom petal starts outas a buttery yellow and turns to very deep purple as the flowers ages. The flowers also all face upwards and the top petals are completely divided. But I think I may buy one, its really georgeous.
Rowanwitch, i never thought of contacting a company, thats a great idea thanks. I don't think its a virus, I have three of these plants and many other "normal" foxgloves amongst them.
