I've had a look in my books and through a plant search on Crocus, but
no avail.
Thanks in advance from a keen amateur.
The blossoms appear to be some variety of salvia (sage) but the
foliage does not.


I'm leaning toward salvia as well - I have a gift plant that is a hardy
salvia that has that shiny leaf.

Maybe its a tropical...
