Thank you @EscondidoCal and @crawgarden for the nice words.

Thank you @bootandall, @needrain, @plantmanager and @zuzu for the thumbsup.

Thank you @Dutchlady1 for the acorn tip.

I got this salvia from Flowers By The Sea in 2013. I loved the gorgeous orange flowers when it finally started blooming in early September of that year. I only got to grow it that one year, since FBTS made it a Special Order plant after that.

Here's the photo that I made the banner with.

@EscondidoCal, no I didn't make any cuttings, since I don't make cuttings.

Thank you @carolem and @GaNinFl for the nice words.

Thank you @CarolineScott, @HamiltonSquare, @KingPlant, @krobra, @pirl, @vic, @Whitebeard and @wildflowers for the thumbsup.

@GaNinFl, The flowers are bright orange, including the bracts, not red.

It's a beautiful plant. It does look more red than orange on my monitor. When I had bad cataracts the reds looked orange to me.

Here's Kermit's, of Flowers By The Sea plant page of Royal with the photos of Royal. I guess my camera didn't get the color perfectly. Sighing! D'Oh! *Blush*
