Okay, I'll log your selections.

Danita, I am starting S. gravida over this year. I loved it to death, literally. The fragrance released by the foliage is addictive and like no other Salvia foliage I have had a chance to smell.
I brought it in the greenhouse and it flowered sparsely. I remembered what Kermit had warned about humidity and tried to keep that in check because my greenhouse is overly humid. We had a monsoon like spell just after that and the greenhouse flooded. Every time I pumped water out it filled back up. I watched the leaves turn gray and moldy one by one until I lost the plant.
I'm going to start again and try dragging it in the house this time, where I struggle to keep the humidity up instead of the other way around.
Comparing the foliage to the S. rubescens I have, I would say that it is similar in form and color, but the gravida leaves were larger in every respect.

Congrats and thank you for such educational posts, everyone - and thank you promise2005 for identifying that hollyhock - can y'all imagine a morning glory with the coloring of 'Peaches & Dreams'? Maybe a Ipomoea purpurea hige colored like that? Well, it's too long to spring, I say Rolling my eyes.

We are coming down to the wire. Seeds will be going back out soon, but there is still time for another game or two. My thanks to Lisa who has made sure the distractions I have right now have not left a void.

Here is a new one with a pack of commercial seeds from Danita for a prize. The first one to unscramble the names of these movies with a plant in the name will get Salvia coccinea, Summer Jewels Mix.

I will copy from ishareflowers and make this game a fill in the blank game. My scrambled movies were too simple. Danita has supplied Salvia coccinea Lavender Jewel seeds as a prize.
These are book titles with plants in the names. I’m going to supply the letter a to get things started. One letter guess per player per day and one guess at the titles per player per day as well. That means you can guess your letter and come back later to solve if you are not ready. The winner is the first to solve all 4 at once. Maybe that will slow you down a little.
