Hello Pat ! remember the plant you gave me last Spring that we thought was Salvia penstemonoides, and it wouldn't bloom?
Well it finally bloomed for me, and it develops in a very stange way, it makes a ball of petals at the end of the stem, and then the ball breaks open and the smaller blossoms come out.
I found out ir is called Salvia involucrata, Rose leaf Sage very pretty, but not a native. It was fun to watch it develop.
