Sparking Salvia - Preston
It is now the depths of winter here in Melbourne, and it has been the coldest winter since 1947. The other day when I went to hand deliver a birthday card, as I was walking back, there was a break in the rainclouds and showers long enough to give me some sunshine and blue skies, and I walked past a garden full of bright purple and magenta salvias. A raindrop glinting in the sunlight on the tip of a purple salvia caught my eye, and as I always carry my little camera with me, I stopped to photograph it. Everywhere I looked, there were salvias that looked like they had been dressed in millions of diamonds as they sparkled in the momentary burst of sunlight. The vibrant colour in the bloom is very striking, and the way it is covered in raindrops, makes this salvia a real bejewelled beauty.
