A closeup shot of the flowering spike of Hummingbird Sage, Salvia spathacea, showing its long and narrow, tubular flowers which are too long and narrow for bees to collect nectar from. Special burgundy-colored calyces, called spathes, protect the base of the flowers from base biting, a behavior some bumblebees employ to get nectar without climbing into the flower. The calyx structure arranges the flowers in a barrel shape, protruding from an axis which is the large stem of the plant, with these whorls of flowers at intervals. One is seen just above the flowers at the center of the shot, with a rather short interval. The stem, bracts, spathes, and the rest of the calyces are all covered in very glandular trichomes that produce a sticky, herby-pineapple fragrance when disturbed. The flowers of Salvia spathacea are typically in some spectrum of magenta, but this variety opens with a gradient from light peach (orange) to magenta in a unique bicolor or tricolor. Two newly opened flowers are closest to the focal point, with more mature purple flowers further back on the plant. The forked style and stamens, with pronounced anthers, protrude far past the upper lip of the flower.
A picture of foliage of Hummingbird Sage, Salvia spathacea, with a flowering spike to the right for context. The foliage is emerald green, rugose (rough or, in this case, rumpled), and covered with highly aromatic glandular trichomes which produce a fragrance similar to pineapples when disturbed. The leaves can grow very large; the largest in the photograph is partially eaten (probably by a grasshopper) but still likely almost 9cm wide and twice that long. Other plants are peeking through the leaves. Included: Hypericum and Romneya.
I guess I'm posting one of the two most unique California native sages for Earth Day! I even got woken by a phone call about this plant, oddly enough. Lots to say about this one, so follow the 🧵

【過去作】スカボローフェア
ポストカードサイズ 素材はおりがみ
大好きなうたの一説を切り絵にしたものです。
大好きすぎて数回切りました。同じくスカボローフェアが大好きな方作品をお求めいただけて嬉しいです。
文字のところはきっちりと図案を作っておりますが、模様のところはアドリブを入れて切っていたりするのでどの作品もほんの少し違う状態になっております。
