My friend's salvia.

Beautiful specimen.

I believe it is, Julia. It's such a nice shape.

Thank you, Shirley, I'll pass that on.

It is a gorgeous one Kate! If you're over the bridge and detour to Normanby Hall, have a look at their's by the glasshouses, gorgeous blue shades and fabulous plants like this one.
African Skies was one of them. I ought to take some pics this weekend..

lovely garden she has

Thanks Janey, I will pass your comment on to her. I ought to pop in to Normanby Hall, all these years and I've never been!! The blues sound gorgeous as you mention. If you take some pics, please do post!

Thanks Paul, she has a small cottagey frontage. It looks gorgeous in the spring and summer.
She has a good sized back garden with different areas, veg, fruit trees, beds, etc. The norm. She loves traditional planting.
