The same day that I told you I had nothing to talk about, we walked the loop and I saw this beautiful sage growing in our friends' garden.  I knew that it was some type of sage, but I asked Seek to further identify it for me.  It is Mealy Blue Sage.  Gosh, they could have come up with something a little nicer for a plant so pretty.  

 

Anyway, its botanical name is Salvia farinacea.  Here's the sweet thing about Sage:  Salvia comes from a word meaning healthy, and to save.  Whenever I see sage, I think of salvation.  Maybe that's how I remember the Salvia part.  Another cool thing about this sage is that it is perennial, meaning that you only have to plant it once, and it keeps coming back.

 

I'm sure our friends bought this plant in a local garden center.  Maybe you can find some too.  It is really pretty.

 

HAPPY GARDENING!!!
