harmonicminor Reviewed by harmonicminor on . Salvia I'm interested in checking out some salvia. My friend believes she may have it in her garden. I have two pictures she sent me, and verification would be excellent. I can always ask her for more pictures too. http://i3.tinypic.com/wjdm9s.jpg http://i3.tinypic.com/wjdme1.jpg She says they have some purple-blue flowers...if that helps. Rating: 5
