This is a photo of a salvia elegans, pineapple sage. The leaves smell and taste like fresh pineapple. The plant is apparently a late bloomer in my zone, it produced it's first bloom this week. I have several salvia greggii that have been blooming for several months. One of my favorites is 'hot lips'. I had one and it flourished for one season and died, I haven't replanted. I have also had the same problem with "spires", one season.
