You are the best! I found the little caterpillar that was eating my salvia buds...he's so tiny it took me forever to get his portrait! He was chomping on the Salvia azurea! Hoping that there are enough buds left to flower...but I did find a place to order the seeds. Have a delicious week!<br /><br />gailGailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16194325535496408116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3093185160483906357.post-34607040055286837172009-08-30T13:56:32.830-05:002009-08-30T13:56:32.830-05:00What a perfect colour combination.

The salvia azurea is a favorite and hard to come by locally, so I am a bit protective of it. They can snack on the Black and Blue at $1 a plant!

Good deal! But now, I have a question ~ I guess I'm confused. They eat your other salvias (did I understand that right?) but not this one??? Wonder what the difference is? I do agree the blue salvia with the pink moth is a striking color combination.
