Lady in Red

Pretty "Lady in Red"
Red Salvia

Kind of a nod to the new trend of shooting spiky
 flowers from the top - Cool, huh?  I saw it done with Bluebonnets and Indian Paintnbrush

Salvia Coccinea, also called Scarlet Sage.
I love to plant salvias and have had good luck with them.  And lucky me, Another Place in Time has a great selection, and is always introducing new and unique ones.
Not only do Salvias do well in Houston gumbo soil, but they tolerate the drought and heat -- and best of all, reseed without any interference from me!  
These popped up a week ago.   I'm pretty sure they are/were the "Lady in Red' I bought last year.
