A few ids please

Saw these today at Oxfords Botanic Gardens, but the labels were either buried under all the foliage or nicked!

Number one;
A Salvia (I thought that I had a photo of the foliage, but clearly not).




Number two;
Another Salvia..................






Number three;






Number four;
This was a tree of four or five metres....................








Thanks for looking.

 

4. Maybe Colquhounia coccinea.

Spot on once again!

 

No. 2 could be S. buchananii? The first one appears in the Super Salvia thread, I'm pretty sure.....

 

I agree - thanks!

Regarding number 3 - the foliage smells of peppermint if crushed......................

 

Longk.... for some unknown reason when ever I visit a thread with your pictures on, it always stops in the middle of them whether there are new posts or not. Are you or they trying to tell me something? It doesn't happen with anyone elses!

 

I think that it's your subconcious saying "I want that"!!!!

Seriously though, no idea - are you still using Internet Explorer?

 

Good call!! It certainly looks like Salvia atrocyanea, so we'll put that to bed unless anyone has a better idea. Thanks!

 

I'll have to give my subconscious a talking too!

What else would or could I be using?

 

Google Chrome. Talk to a techie though, not me!

 

Oh right. I've got it but don't feel the need to use it.
