One in Adelphi, Maryland, one in Wildwood, Florida, one at the US National Arboretum with a grandfatherly interest in many more around the DC area (unless noted, pictures are taken the day of post)

The salvias in the Herb Garden are peaking now
If you peek out of the growing area a few are visible on the ner side of the crossing path. If you walk the few steps to the crossing walkway you find yourself standing in the middle of a long planting of them. A 90 degree turn to the right will reveal the plants in the bottom picture. If you turn 180 degrees you can see the variously colored salvias in the middle picture.
I love salvias; they overwinter as cuttings in the greenhouse flowering sporadically even during the shortest darkest day. I seek them out then when colorful flowers are a rare commodity.
