Salvia species??

Thanks Rich and all "Med-planters" for the discussion of Salvia Waverly.
I, too believe it must have some S. chiapensis in its little heart.
Those leaves are just TOO shiney!
	I've recently planted some small plants labeled "Salvia species" from
Judy's Perennials, next door to Steve Brigham's Buena Vista Nursery. The
plant form and leaves are very like S. semiatrata. Particularly the
leaves which are deltoid, opposite and in clusters. The undersides are
very tomontose, almost white and the upper side rugose. The similarity
ends here. The flowering stems look for all the world like S.
coahuilensis both in deepness of color, flower form and arrangement on
the stem. Is it possible these two have been cavorting, either in Mexico
or here in Southern Calif? This is a beautiful (so far little) plant,
blooming repeatly just now while getting established. Does it sound
familiar to anyone? Any guesses about size and form would also be
appreciated.
	I'm also a "salvia fanatic", intrigued by the deep true blues and
electric purples found in few other species. Am growing a cutting of
Salvia mexicana labled Guanajuato from U.C. Berkley. From the picture I
have, it looks to be rather a monster with the most fabulous lime
colored caylces. The leaves have silvery markings differing from my
other S. mexicana (from Buena Vista Nursery) Anything anyone can tell me
about either of these?
	This salvia collecting can get to be addicting!
