Here are some Naked Ladies with some Russian Sage in a vase. Very nice to look at and smell.

Very nice...always great to be able to enjoy the fruits of your labor and care taking of the garden by having something to compliment your indoor environment too!

Thanks, fishyaker. It makes it all worthwhile.

Did you do that arrangement or did your better half? I've always thought that the samurai "code" which required one to be proficient at flower arrangement, preparing tea, origami - that's something to be admired. I grow flowers - roses, lilies, irises and such. But you don't want to see any of my arrangements. Pretty pathetic. Maybe I should try some Russian sage?
Any way, that is very nice, simple but elegant. Thank you.

I do the planting, watering, and weeding, Marion does the cutting and arranging. She is just now getting interested in the garden and the flowers, that is a good thing. Up until about a month ago, she had absolutely no interest in either and could care less what I did with them. I can see improvement in her every day, but once in a wlile she will take two steps backward. She has come a long ways since last Oct.
Russian Sage smells very nice, but it is a little hard to get started and populates very slowly. I'll take a picture of ours and it is about 15 years old.

Lookin' GOOD, flyguy!... I'm wishing that I COULD smell'em, over here (started "WANTING TO" seem as though I were "smelling them" over here, then a southerly breeze, blew the stench of the Dirty City in upon me...)

Here are some pictures of the Russian Sage that I had transplanted about 15 years ago. The picture is taken from below a retaining wall. It is above the walls forming the patio and emits a very pleasant smell on the patio. We love it.

They come up in the Spring nice and green and then completely die down, nothing, for about 6 - 8 weeks and then they come back up in August with very pretty blooms. That is what they do up here anyway.

¿Do you harvest, dry and use a bit of your sage for Thanksgiving dinner? (& etc.)

It can take some time for them to get established . Fly that's quite a shrub there. Good work pays off.

My neighbor gave me one of those. That flower pops up out of nowhere. Really pretty.
