@Gerris2 Joseph,

Here's the Royal Bumble database link if you'd like to add your recent pics.

Salvia (Salvia microphylla 'Royal Bumble')

@Marilyn ,
Remember, we are only supposed to add photos of the original 'Royal Bumble' (asexually propagated) to that particular database.

The more generic database entry would work, though. You can add the parentage info to the comments. Now, the question to resolve is whether 'Royal Bumble' is actually pure S. microphylla or, more likely, a S. x jamensis.
Jame Sage (Salvia x jamensis)
Blackcurrant Sage (Salvia microphylla)

I do love seeing what kind of seedlings different cultivars produce.

@Danita,

I thought they were flowers of the original 'Royal Bumble'.

Maybe @FBTS Kermit can chime in regarding the "Now, the question to resolve is whether 'Royal Bumble' is actually pure S. microphylla or, more likely, a S. x jamensis."

I found hummingbirds indeed are quite attracted to Royal Bumble flowers. I'm so pleased, mission accomplished!

Really good to know, Joseph!

Such a pretty red color. I wish there was a similar color in a morning glory flower.

It was a misty morning today.

Beautiful!

I kept blooming even in the heat wave.

Wonderful!

Yes, it is a wonderful time of the year.

Such a vivid red in Salvia microphylla 'Royal Bumble'

Gorgeous color!
