realy? Salvia pratensis, growing all over the field
would you  like a bite of root?

Arykana,

I know Salvia pratensis from the meadows here around, but only single ones.
Not in this wonderful blue cushions. Is there a heavy, nutrient-rich soil in your area? We have only light, sandy and nutrient-poor soil, so this is the difference.

So I'm not surprised to see blue cushions of Salvia growing on the meadows.
But we all dream of what we not have and see in other places.
