My tropical blue sage is starting to bloom. This very tropical, native of south India grows very well in San Diego, CA. Photo taken Jan. 9, 2012.

I love it, too! I had been wanting one for a long time. They're usually available at the nurseries during summer and fall and winter (as it's a winter-bloomer). I purchased this one at my friend's nursery, Kartuz Greenhouses about 3 months ago.

I would guess it makes a good indoor plant, also. However, I would never grow this plant indoors because it would be infested with bugs very quickly, here in San Diego.

We've just watched the film "Traffic" - do you know it? I was wondering how much of the San Diego scenes were actually shot there?

14 Jan, 2012

 

Meanie:

Yes, I think I saw it many years ago. I believe some scenes were filmed in La Jolla.

14 Jan, 2012

 

Thanks - I always wonder about locations in films.

14 Jan, 2012

 

You're welcome. I think most of places in the movie were filmed up in the Hollywood area of Los Angeles.

La Jolla is a beautiful area where many movie stars hang out. This is probably why it was filmed there.
