Balcony Garden Update: Sage Flowers

in #blog6 years ago

Spring is almost here and things are starting to bloom even though it's still cold and raining. Very uncharacteristic of Israel in April.

This week I discovered some purple blooms on my sage! I've never seen sage bloom before, so it's pretty cool, all purple and kinda fluffy. Doesn't smell any stronger than the rest of the plant, but perhaps they have some interesting medicinal uses or something, as this is after all medical sage.

Odds are I will be posting another extended balcony garden update after spring cleaning.

A little bird told me it's your BIRTHDAY today!
Happy Happy Day, every day, Ilana!
Love the sage blossom photos. Now I understand the title of my favorite Zane Gray novel, "Riders of the Purple Sage." Where I live, the sage doesn't bloom purple. Thank you for this. Container gardening! I need to get better at it.

I visited a nursery 20 minutes from my home that had, like, 10 kinds of sage and 8 kinds of Jasmine. I counted.

Looks like the blue little birdie (AKA Facebook) told everyone, so a birthday post is incoming.

אווו איזה יופי גם פרחים וגם תה! 😋

מתי בא לבדוק את איכות השניים?

גשם זלעפות יקירתי... אך אני מעריך סופש או הקרוב או הבא נראה מה יוליד יום 😉😘

אמן. אנחנו געגועים פה.

Springtime cannot come soon enough! We won’t have blooms for at least another month. Your pictures are beautiful!
