friday flower: sage

20140601-104525-38725305.jpg One of favorite herbs is sage. Turns out, it has one of the most beautiful flowers! The sweet purple flowers are bursting with nectar, if only the bloom schedule was timed with our hummingbird visits! A few small pollinators have taken advantage of the delectable blooms, and I have too!

I just cut two branches and strung them over the dinning table to dry. These leaves & flowers will come in handy around November.

Are any of your favorite flowers from herbs?
