Salvia elegens

Pineapple sage, sweet scented mint – November blooms, glad to know it
Tropical plant, ruby red hint – soft light green leaves, had to sow it
Container bound, oh so fragrant – hummingbird bait, rad to show it
Matter of time, frost will kill it – yearly planted, mad to grow it.

Seeing Red
_____________________________________
I explore the warm conservatory
With the goal of finding the color red
Scanning canopy and understory
Looking in containers and planting beds
Miss no detail below or overhead
This quick scavenger hunt opened my eyes
To wonders I may have missed otherwise
Can’t wait to go back and explore again
Looking closely to see the next surprise
It is not a matter of if but when.
