Broad-billed hummingbird / colibrí pico ancho (Cynanthus latirostris) and native salvia. Note how the flower's anthers contact the hummingbird's bill, depositing pollen to be delivered to the next salvia blossom the bird visits. At Tohono Chul, Tucson, Arizona.

Plant of the Day
Tuesday 12 March 2024
In a sheltered front garden on the south coast of Britain the Salvia rosmarinus (rosemary, rose of the sea, southernwood) is already flowering. This aromatic evergreen will bloom from early spring through summer and into autumn. The plant was even adding foliage and flowers to a shop window display further down the street.

Mother nature provides many unique methods for telling time. One can use a sun dial or moon dial, one can phone time for the exact time at the beep. One can look at the color of the leaves (it's yellow-red season). One can ask a passing werewolf who is wearing a rolex. Or one can look at the natural flower clock Salvia Clevelandii where it is pi after 13 AM in the other morning.

A hummingbird hawk moth feeds on salvia in a garden in London, UK. The moths are an increasingly regular migrant usually seen in July and August, though warming weather has meant a growing number are able to overwinter in the UK

Here’s a good example of “nectar robbing”. This bumblebee is way too big to get inside these salvia flowers and its tongue isn’t long enough to reach, so it is going to the back of each flower near the stem and biting a tiny hole to get to the nectar that way. It’s called nectar robbing because the flower’s nectar is taken without it being pollinated.

The cultivar Salvia officinalis 'Berggarten' (sage) has larger blue-purple flowers and foliage than the species. It forms a substantial sub-shrub with broad grey-felted leaves and thrives in a sunny, free draining location.
