A few more weeks before the Hummingbirds arrive, so I’m sheltering and encouraging growth of my Friendship Sage – (Salvia 'Amistad) plants. As I’ve grown them in pots I’ve been able to move them into my garage during our few winter freezes, and so far, they have remained in bloom. The plant has masses of beautiful spikes of violet flowers on near black stems. The flowers are slightly “furry” on the outer surface. Hummingbirds, bees, and butterflies love this plant.

Sage Thrasher singing on Bennett Mountain Road near Mountain Home.
"This smallest of the thrashers is a widespread denizen of the West’s vast sagebrush steppe. Sage Thrashers are furtive creatures that hunt for insects beneath a protective sagebrush canopy. In spring the males sing seemingly endless cascades of song from tall perches."
An uncommon visitor to southern Ontario, this western based Sage Thrasher stayed deep in the cover and only popped out briefly. It was feeding on the rosehips tangled among the brush and undergrowth. A treat to enjoy this lifer find.

Red cherry sage blooming by the house hedge. Taken on a walk around the sunset time.
Cherry sage is the common name for Salvia microphilla, Salvia greggii, and Salvia х jamensis (a hybrid between S. microphilla and S. greggii).
It's a pretty herb and one that has medicinal purposes. Its essential oil is also used in perfumes and as a flavouring for vermouths, wines and liqueurs. Clary sage also attracts pollinators such as hummingbirds and butterflies so I'd say this is is an all-around winner.
Thank you for your visits and comments, they're very much appreciated. Have a great weekend!
All the roadside sage bushes seem to be flowering right now so Jasper and I ventured out for some photo ops Sunday morning. I like purple so I enjoy it when they bloom. But this was one of those days when Jasper was all happy, happy, happy until I pointed the camera at him, then he wore a serious face.
