Thanks, RON. One of my favorite salvias, s. africana-lutea 'Oxblood', a cultivar we developed.

So, you're telling me that you get to cultivate them and then photograph also? That is so unfair somehow to us apartment dwellers. I guess we will just have to rely on you for images of these neat flowers. So don't screw them up.

I actually talked my way into a job in the department because nobody (including the chair with $5k of Canon) could take a descent picture for the plant sale signs. Now I get paid minimum wage to work in paradise, propagating plants and taking photographs, while tormenting the student interns with pseudo-science and tall tales -- they are soooo gullible! Beats a real job.
