My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Salvia

Can you identify this salvia?

20 years ago

It looks almost exactly like Salvia Cochinea(sp?) except that it has pink blooms not red. I even saw a hummingbird at the bloom. And while my Cochinea grows straight up, this one grows out in branches. It is an annual, and foolishly I threw out the ID. I'm sure it will re-seed, but I'd like to know its name.

Or if you could direct me to a web site where I might find a picture. I'm sure it is a common variety, I bought it at a nursery, nothing exotic.

thanks

ellenr
