I have a little radio programme on the local community radio station.
Each week we have a competition
This week as I will be talking about salvias,I was going to ask the meaning
of the word "salvia"
I thought I knew till I started to check the dictionary.
What do you think I should accept?
"to save"??
or perhaps wise?
healing balm?
Come on all you frightnigly wise Medit gardeners what do you think?Michael Bailes.

A funny coincidence relating to the "wise" meaning of the word
salvia is that I heard the other day
on a BBC radio science program that there is a chemical substance in
salvia leaves (the common
sage herb) that improves mental faculties
