First time flowers

Nothing special here, I just can't resist to post some photo of a 'gift' of my beloved plants 8)

It's almost winter here in france but fall weather was very sweat, and for the first time since I planted 3 cm cuttings (4 years ago I think), some flowers appeared !
There are not as beautifull as salvia flowers from south america or heather countries, but I enjoy them anyway (2 years that I expect them ;).
It is too late for the flowers to get them a chance to be fertilized by insects... Maybe next year flowers will appear sooner... I guess it is a balance of temp and light cycles for the flowers, and local settings are not optimal.
However, if settings are not optimal for flowers, there is no doubt about leaf potency. One leaf is enought for a nice meditative trip. 3 or 4 leaves would be probably too strong for SIMW's tastes.

You know you've taken good care of Salvia when she produces such brilliant flowers as those. I understand your excitement because my Salvia plants are starting to produce flower buds. I can't wait to see them bloom!
 
I envey you guys..I cannot seem to get mine to flower..been trying fo 2 years now..they hate comming back inside in the fall here in canada and refuse to flower.
 
Very nice! Try to get seeds and then send them to Mr.Siebert, he will name the clone that results from your seeds whatever you wish!

It's close to impossible to get them to produce seeds. That's why it's also close to impossible to find seeds online :( And I live on an island and it's next to impossible to import a clone of Salvia here :(

How can you not ! I think they are absolutely gorgeous and beyond being special . The wonders of this plant are incomprehensible , yet to see her bloom in all her glory ! WOW !

It isn't that hard to pollinate by yourself , though your season is quickly coming to an end .
I grow my plants indoors , here is a picture of one of the blossoms .
