Re: Salvia corrugata?

Dear nancy,

I think pictures of this species have been posated before. I have a 
plant, somewhat cantakerous, that has heavily reticulated (netted 
with deep veins) leaves, slightly toothed along the margins, deep 
green and with a buff coloured indumentum (felt) underneath. It 
grew vigorously to about 1m and then, just as the flower spikes 
emerged, the plant succumbed to either too much heat, too much 
direct sun and/or not enough water. So I did not get to see the 
second crop of intense deep blue flowers that I was anticipating 
when I bought the plant in bloom. It is making strong basal growth 
now, after I cut back hard all the stems that collapsed for whatever 
reason, but they will be too late developing I think to bloom before 
winter cold gets it.
