CA Sages in Bloom

11 years ago

There's a canyon I jog through that is full of sages. Most of it is naturally occurring but there is a small section that has been replanted by humans. The wild plants are just coming to life but the planted sages are well into blooming. Theses are pics of the planted ones.

^^^ or at least thats what i think it is, not 110% sure ^^^

but i got intruiged by it to figure out right ID, and thats what i came up with, if its the same plant. its tricky to get exact ID for feral plants, and there can be local differences, hybridization....

Yes. lol. It will be interesting to see any plants coming up in the area but I looked around and didn't see any seedlings.. I think too much nonnative grasses crowding them out.
