Salvia [ETSOOI]

We cut this back severely this summer and flowers are coming back. This shot would have benefited greatly from a tripod and more depth-of-field…

“Salvia is the largest genus of plants in the mint family, Lamiaceae, with nearly 1000 species of shrubs, herbaceous perennials, and annuals. … One of several genera commonly referred to as sage, it includes the widely produced herb used in cooking, Salvia officinalis (common sage, or just ‘sage’).” —Wikipedia

Gorgeous photo. Some people aren't so great at tags. We have blue salvia for a short time during the summer (or is it spring?).

[GaryW]

Great focus and dof. Also like the blue color.
