Default Stunning Salvia collection

I have mine switched off but am prompted to allow it if the site requires

am generally looking via google it stops a lot of nonesense being
inflicted on me I was not actually expecting it. It would explain the
different experiences.


Unless I allow the scripts, my browser cannot follow links etc and nor
does it permit any background jiggery-pokery, so I allow scripts only
from the sites I trust.

Getting back to Salvia, you know I've been quite taken with this
site. Some 30 years ago I started a collection of the shrubby Central
and South American sages' and became quite fanatical about them for a
while. This site has certain stirred up old fascinations for the more
tender types. It has also reminded me to renew my search for seed or
plants of the pure Salvia splendens, which makes a medium sized, head-
high shrub with long racemes of vivid scarlet flowers. A million
miles from those stubby 'bedding Salvias' and a million times better
as well.
