SUPER SALVIA'S - 2015

Evening all.

Became a regular-ish contributor last Summer but fell out of the habit over Winter and haven't got back into it.

Trying to be more "mindful" and in the moment rather than going for the camera, taking a photo, uploading the photo, writing a post, ..., ..., checking back for replies, ... - you know what I mean

But anyways, some of my Salvias seem to be thriving under benign neglect and wholly unsuitable potting conditions - look at this - Nemerosa Sensation Rose about to explode as of a few days ago.



Oh god - I've started now - roll on a Summer of uploading pictures of bees, butterflies, the moon, sunsets, the track of the ISS, the night-time shenanigans of snails, ....

 

welcome back to the GC Madhouse,
Jenny

 

Ive added Salvia Black Knight to my collection:

--

 

I had that but lost it over the winter of 2012/13
It's a really nice one.

 

Salvia forsskoalii.............




In a week or two these stems will have doubled in height...............


The red form of Salvia microphylla is very late coming into bloom this year..............

 

I have a few this evening. They struggled with the wet, cold Spring but are picking up a bit now.

Haven't we all!

 

Salvia patens "Oxford Blue"................


Probably the easiest of all Salvia to grow from seed.

 

First flower on the Amistad - Hurrah!

 

That is way ahead of my large cultivars @colinn

 

Hi All

Mine have only recently grown (4 weeks) so only about 4 inches tall

I dont know what I done wrong , I am keeping in the greenhouse for now.

 

Which ones do you have?
The last one to get going for me was S.confertiflora. That's just about 6 or 7cm tall now.

 

I will have to look at the labels

 

I will go and look now !!!
