The Salvia regla is magnificent at a distance and close up! My Salvia leucantha is in its' first year and spikey. Ellas' looks very lush. She looks like she wants to take a taste of it... I am tempted with mine too. Looks like grape koolaid. LOL

The butterflies were busy around the red firespike yesterday but I was too busy covering up for a frost. Never did catch a photo of them. Htop ~ is that a coral vine to the right of your mountain sage? It is pretty... mine is on the ground, compliments of IKE. It will come back though.

Why do all the lovelies wait till right before a frost to explode with blooms?

Pineapple sage...
