Sensational Salvia

This is Salvia "Sensation", and she's sensational on account of she's about the only flower in the garden at the moment.

Everything is very crispy around the edges, have been left for the last two weeks. It's been pretty hot, and no rain, but it won't take long to come back again, once I start throwing some water around.

I saw a few critters out there this afternoon, but I couldn't hold the camera still for the life of me - must be jet lag or something. And it is very hot and humid, and the insects don't like that any more than I do.
