Sage in bloom


This sage is in our front yard, where we have more low-maintenance and desert-adapted plants. The Texas sage is a common landscaping plant here which produces lovely purple flowers when the humidity rises. Unfortunately, in most landscapes it is kept pruned into geometric shapes, so you don't see a display of flowers like this.

This location doesn't follow the "right plant in the right place" rule as it is really too large for for this spot, but I wanted to post a picture of it blooming as it will do when allowed to assume its natural shape and size.
