Mexican Bush Sage 🌸 #worldwildflora
Today, I want to show you some unique and awe-inspiring wild flowers I recently came across while passing through a village in uttarakhand, India.
These soft and velvety flowers are commonly called Mexican Bush Sage and their botanical name is Salvia leucantha. They belong to Salvia genus of mint family. What makes them unique among other Salvias is their showy and bicolor spikes that goes beyond foliage. And, because of its beauty, this flower has also been awarded 'Award of Garden Merit' of the Royal Horticulture society.
