A Garden Goddess


Meet Sage. She has captured my imagination in the garden for several years.
Sage is an annual with small but lovely blossoms.
She takes full sun to partial shade which is needed here in Zone 9
She holds herself proudly even though her blooms are tiny. She is friendly
and gladly gives me stems to make smudges. I often enjoy sitting near her and quietly appreciate her essence.

  1. Gemma, I love your painting! She has such a sweet face. I don't have any sage growing here but we do have rosemary. It has a nice smell, too and it has lavender blossoms!

  9. She's gorgeous, Gemma. I love her eyes, so deep and sparkly and full of mystery -- and the exact color of wrinkled sage leaves. :) My sage plants here bloomed for the first time this spring (2nd year after planting), and the bees adored them.
