Good to see you Sandra! That's a pretty salvia, even if you don't think so. Did you go thru a drought there too? Some of my salvias got smaller, and strained to bloom. I think they were tired and thirsty. I did see signs of life at the base of those plants this weekend. They must have heard me talking about digging 'em up for compost! We're going to have another freeze tomorrow. I'm not covering another thing! Go to the "show us your gardens" forum here and see my pond pic before our December freeze.....and further down a pic of what it looks like now. It's a bit of a change. Stop by anytime. Love the photo. Looking forward to the RU.... and Forest Hill!
