If you and Janet click on View Gallery, don't you get a list of all the
Salvias in alphabetical order, plus a row of little ping pong ball thingies
each labelled with letters A to Z? At the top of this page named Gallery
Index, there is also a dropdown box marked Select with every page number in
it. I agree that the Salvias on the pages seem to be at random but I just
click on the one I'm interested in that's in the named listing on that
Gallery Index page.


There's no "view gallery" on my screen Sacha

I'm sure someone else can explain that. I can't!

When I tried to look at the web site there was next to nothing to be
seen. I didn't look into it in detail, but I assume that the web page
depends on you having JavaScript or worse turned on.

Is that remark about Java Script serious?

Yes Sacha as on this computer it isn't up to date, something to do with
conflicting with something of Tom' I believe. So maybe that's it ...

Seems I'm not the only one

I discussed this with a few people when we were making our web site and in
the end with a relative with a pretty whizzy site who is in advertising.
While some are still distrustful of Java, the modern (!) consensus seems to
be that it's here and it's not going away and it's fine. I imagine we all
have to adjust poco a poco because not all of the people can be pleased all
of the time!

I have mine switched off but am prompted to allow it if the site requires
it, so if I go to say your new site I can say yes if I want it but if I
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.

Yes, it explains why Janet wasn't seeing that Salvia collection in the same
way I was. When our new site was designed I (briefly) discussed the Java
issue with the site builder and he in turn discussed it with site
designers/builders he works with. I'm hopeless at understanding the techie
side of these things but the general consensus of their opinions was that
most sites use Java now.

Polite cough. Just a small correction :-)
Java is not the same thing as Java Script: Java is a programming language but
JavaScript is a scripting language. You are talking about JavaScript, NOT
Java.

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.

Can I help by trying to get seed for you here Dave?
