I've just stumbled across this impressive collection of Salvias - all done
for love and not as a profession! It's truly amazing

Wonderful site, I've already spent too much time there. :-)
Thank's for the URL.



I wish he'd named them as we watched them! The Christine yeo books are
very good, I have them both but the photographs aren't that good in
them.


Not sure if I understand, Janet. Each flower listed is named when you click
on its name and bring up its photo. Sadly, Christine Yeo has had to give up
her Nursery but is still living there and raising Salvias for her own
pleasure, AFAIK.

I once joined the Salvia newsgroup/mailing list and was way out of my
depth! These people really know their botany Incredibly technical but
nonetheless fascinating at times.

They seem to be among the plants that inspire great passion. I was
astonished at Robin's pages of photos of one flower from each Salvia.
That's dedication!
