Just a single mama of 4, a teacher to many, a photographer, an artist, a learner of life and trying to find my way. Flowers bring me a simple peace.

This bee was incredibly Still while I got close enough for this macro shot. It may have actually passed right there. But if I were a bee, I’d wanna pass in a garden too. #bee #macro #bogsage #pollinator #circleoflife

@columbiariver I hope that’s the case! I did shake the plant stem and it didn’t move at all.

Is this a native, @camilio81 ?

3w
comment
camilio81

@emch it is not. It’s native to Brazil and other South American countries. It grows super fast, is very low maintenance, deer and rabbit resistant and doesn’t really get diseases. It is a fast spreader, though I wouldn’t call it invasive. I just pull it up where I don’t want it. I barely water it and it thrives. Pollinators LOVE it.

Hoo boy, what's the zone hardiness on this #trueblue dazzler?

comment
camilio81

@emch Google says zones 8-11, but I live in zone 7 and never do anything to it and it grows back bigger and more pretty every year!

@emch plant some in the the ground and some in a pot too. Bring the pot in when it gets cold! If it doesn’t come back, you will still have some anyway!!

I have really come to love my #bogsage plants. They are nearly as tall or taller than me and consistently have these beautiful blue sprays of flowers. The bees and butterflies love them! #salvia #blue #rainbowweek
