I had a wonderful time meeting the members of the Gainesville Garden Club—they certainly know how to run a meeting! During my visit, I took a tour of their butterfly garden and was delighted to discover a type of Salvia that was new to me, its bright blooms standing out even at dusk. Despite an unusually early and harsh freeze in November, this resilient perennial kept blooming beautifully. The soft yellow flowers were lovely, and I found out that this plant is far from shy—it's a dependable standout in their garden.

Definitely going to plant this pollinator resource in my garden this year!
