I love the pinks, my faves;)

You have a beautiful collection. I also love the insects. Is this the nicest time of year in your garden ?

Yes Definately the Best time of year, everything is growing in leaps and bounds, it is autumn but you would never know it by the weather.

I am lucky I can sow salvia seeds all year round as well as grow them.

Wow! What an awesome collection of salvias...I'm definitely jealous! Your butterfly pics are gorgeous too!

Early autumn is the best time here in Texas for the best blooms too. I guess you don't need a greenhouse or even sow seeds indoors.
Year round enjoyment!

Your right no green house and yes I sow the seeds outdoors and frost is unheard off here;)

Hi Marilyn,

From a lady I exchange seeds with in the netherlands. It sounded scrumptious.

Annette,
