It seems that some of the salvias you grow in the UK have not been available here in the US and are harder to come by . I have seem the picture of s. squalens and it is gorgeous. I'm growing s. oppositiflora now and it has been blooming, just waiting to see if it sets seeds.

Robin, We would love to see pictures of your salvia squalens. Love to hear about other salvias you are growing.

Helena,

Thanks for your interest. Having only just joined this forum I did not realise that I cannot attach an image to a message. However I hope to have a small website up and running in a few weeks, when I can then post a link.

Robin.

Robin, That will be nice, looking forward to it. It's so easy to fall in love with a salvia plant after seen a picture of it. There's quite a few of them that I'd like to learn more about their history.

There is a way to attach images. Actually, one uses HTML code to indicate the source of the image. Your text link does not appear, and the image, found on another web server, is pasted in.

The instructions can be found on the FAQ page for the Butterfly group

Helena that has to be one of my favorite salvias oppositiflora here's a picture from last september. Sarah

Nice picture Sarah, I like the feel of the leaves. My hummers like it too. Another salvia Pulchera and microphylla 'hot lips' I'm growing is their favorite too but then they go to quite a few of them. Helena

I don't know salvia pulchera, but microphylla and hotlips I know and the hummers love it! Sarah

Hi Robin,

Welcome to GardenWeb! I can help you with the html codes if you want to directly post a picture in the message. Let me know, ok?

Joseph

Thank you, Joseph,

I hope to have my own website up and running in a few weeks, and there will be links to a lot of my Salvia pictures, many unusual species. A colleague of mine who is a computer nut has created the site for me, I am still learning.

Robin.
