Salvia sciarea var . turkestanica flower

Intriguing close-up.

I grow this for the scented flowers, but it is a big job.

I love this and spent last evening googling photos of it Amy. Don't be adding any seeds to Tony's beer now..haha, :))

Thanks girls , Haha Janey apparently the seeds have a mucilaginous coating , old herbalists recommended placing a seed into the eye of someone with a foreign object in it so that it would adhere to the object making it easy to remove , not sure about that but expect it was true ..

How interesting Amy! Love to hear about the plants and their past uses. Lovely capture too.

Self seeding pest here but I still love it!
