I take BAD photographs and that stops me from posting photos of flowers which bloom in our garden as often as I would like. However, a friend, a retired school teacher, is a good photographer so when he came to photograph the Arum sintonisii Wednesday morning I asked him to help. The following are his snap shots
1 and 2 Salvia leucantha which seems to be the favourite for most of my visitors.
3 Salvia microphylla very fresh looking.
4 and 5 Salvia indicare-growing from last year. An on going battle with baby snails that escape my daily round up. I have also grown three others from last year's seeds as an insurance.
6 No name as the label faded. It is 3 years old but has not flowered yet so can not identify it. Seeds from MGS seed bank.
7. Second year in the ground. Same story. If anybody recognizes it from the leaves please help. I have looked up all the Salvia names from the MGS seed bank but I am none the wiser as to their names.
8 A sea of fresh green. Includes Salvia 'Hot Lips', S. discolor, S. africana-lutea and S. greggii[/i.
