I owe a special thanks to reader Karen B. for sharing a bounty of intriguing seeds with me last fall, including a number of unusual salvias. Several did well, but one was a particular star: <em>Salvia reptans.</em> Though I'm normally not a big fan of blue flowers, I was taken by overall look of this species once it started blooming in mid-September. The bees sure love it too. [Nancy J. Ondra at Hayefield]
