thank you Sacha, checking 'salvia' my RD encycl. suggested a reasonable

to an iffy picture of S.neurepia, then a google image search revealed this
picture which appears to be spot-on.


...on the other hand..... your suggested S.greggii group also reveals some
equally close likenesses. (this is tricky isn't it?....I must learn not to be
so hasty)

Just proved the point!! ;-) I don't know where you live but the National
Collection of Salvias is at Pleasant View Nursery, just outside Newton
Abbot, Devon.
You may just have to be content that you have a lovely plant and it's a
Salvia. ;-)
