This is something I have never seen before. It is growing in the garden of our trade school. I saw it when I was in town this afternoon and tood a photo. I had to look it up in my plant identifier. One of thos plants with a difference that usually does not grow in Switzerland.
Phlomis russeliana – Although not a species of Salvia, it is related, in the Lamiaceae family. We know it as Jerusalem sage. Phlomis samia is another species with rather bland bloom, but ours happens to look very much like Phlomis russeliana, except with pinkish bloom.
I am Ahmed Abdi, a Wordpress blogger and storyteller who searches for stories that inspire people. I love writing because it’s a reflection of how I perceive the world around me. Lost in a world of endless chaos in my childhood, Unforgettable moments of tragedy and triumphs taught me the art of storytelling where I found myself through letter writing and then turned into stories but then sadly had lost everything I wrote for years. In 2018, I decided to create a Wordpress blog site that would allow me to store and retrieve every piece. Stories from my community, city and people are what make my writing so interesting and inspiring! I’m a tea lover so a cup of tea sometimes makes my blog.

That’s interesting. I’ll have to check if it’s really a member of the salvias or just a common name. Thanks for an interesting plant to lookup
