This hedge of Russian sage took our breath away. It was populated by a dozen or more humminbirds twittering and drinking the nectar. The bees were also in sage heaven, and we could taste the sage flavored honey in our imagination. Now, we are inspired to visit our nursery and plant sage in our garden!
Happy Wednesday!
That's beautiful A. Ron and Alexandra Seigel . I've seen this here as well but I had no idea what the plant was called. Thank you.

Very nice. Our humming birds have fled the area for warmer climes until next year!

Good morning, Alexandra and Ron - Barbara Todaro is right, those of us who enjoy this type of vegetation are fortunate. More reasons to celebrate things we too often may overlook.

What a fabulous image and the picture you painted for us Alexandra. Thank you !
That sage is certainly beautiful and vibrant and I think it is a good idea to plant some yourself.
I have grown sage before but it never had such beautiful blooms. Perhaps it was a different variety. This is really pretty and bet is smells heavenly.
Alexandra I can see why this would inspire you to plant sage beautiful picture
Hi Ron and Alexandra- that is glorious!!! I've never grown sage but I may try.
That is a beautiful photo, Alexandra. I had no idea it was called Russian sage, although we see it here as well in spots.
Thank you for your post on the hedge of Russian sage...my first introduction to such a hedge. Also, amazed about the visiting hummingbirds and bees. How nice...lucky... that you are able to plant such a hedge.
Breathtaking photo literally. I had Russian sage growing in a planter in my garden last year. It’s looks magnificent in volumn.
