Given the vast family heritage, these flowers grow in abundance throughout the world – though, the majority of species can be seen blossoming around South western and central regions of Asia.</span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #6a6a6a; font-family: arial, Verdana; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;"> </span><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCWOdRrARTBj7zRrnBtx8bwj265KOBhNNspOrGhX_gGsCDyZRWjP3IVn95F-f2rdd-ahPZ29Larml9yBQVEmGivI4yqmpRukTIt-5b5xO9vIpJM-tpKh5iguvehC9A7urW9dbEJG3q-JnS/s1600/salvia+flowers+pictures.+%25281%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCWOdRrARTBj7zRrnBtx8bwj265KOBhNNspOrGhX_gGsCDyZRWjP3IVn95F-f2rdd-ahPZ29Larml9yBQVEmGivI4yqmpRukTIt-5b5xO9vIpJM-tpKh5iguvehC9A7urW9dbEJG3q-JnS/s320/salvia+flowers+pictures.+%25281%2529.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> <span style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;">The petals take on a distinctive claw shape that is divided in two – the upper portion being either toothy in appearance or solid. They may be seen in several colours ranging from blue to purple, white to red, and – less frequently – yellow.</span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi01DZXKp0pEORWqQ74eQPIRXD2tiNfwfZkP8g5MahMQ4oLTbDkdfj7zyJygfQ92r1MTZiAaCnBo8lbgKg9FCAqlK6zWOsyotMJYNuquDDWZXj96JRSnMkINoBpmeClbxAssUdx0-c1Iw1E/s1600/salvia+flowers+pictures.+%25282%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi01DZXKp0pEORWqQ74eQPIRXD2tiNfwfZkP8g5MahMQ4oLTbDkdfj7zyJygfQ92r1MTZiAaCnBo8lbgKg9FCAqlK6zWOsyotMJYNuquDDWZXj96JRSnMkINoBpmeClbxAssUdx0-c1Iw1E/s320/salvia+flowers+pictures.+%25282%2529.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> <span style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;">The salvia flower has something of a sordid history, as some varieties of this plant have highly hallucinogenic properties. In Oaxaca, Mexico this plant has sometimes been used as both a curative and within divination practices.</span><span style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;"> </span></span><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5HKpu7g9QjfmXIgChYPNAuqNe_NTTZedHrSKZaM6h0o60A5CspnEp1ZiQ9qSR1yhljhgnFWBDtGXFx8ekiw9xQC-uRpYYkKusDc7IxDZIpSlWZqEvj-ProjcmPxqC0Y8OBjRLUyhJ7aXH/s1600/salvia+flowers+pictures.+%25283%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5HKpu7g9QjfmXIgChYPNAuqNe_NTTZedHrSKZaM6h0o60A5CspnEp1ZiQ9qSR1yhljhgnFWBDtGXFx8ekiw9xQC-uRpYYkKusDc7IxDZIpSlWZqEvj-ProjcmPxqC0Y8OBjRLUyhJ7aXH/s320/salvia+flowers+pictures.+%25283%2529.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> <span style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;">These plants are said to calm the nerves of those who are ill, and bring about visions during religious practices. Although using the salvia flower in this manner is considered relatively new, studies on its effects began in the late 1930s. Despite its cultural significance, though, the use of salvia as a hallucinogen is quickly becoming illegal in many states and countries.</span></span><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjksua9dM7NJntkI4MC4XSlNq_bFVMbOd8jFIMUOXO8iDe3SGpbA7sFLmjJ6mS78BZm41NaR-tbPoy-TFKxyHFDmSrnBQQDmkz2_rmNUcMuQ5lfEKef10JRkOdyYGaY5yjk7Kky9UgkRxMu/s1600/salvia+flowers+pictures.+%25284%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="311" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjksua9dM7NJntkI4MC4XSlNq_bFVMbOd8jFIMUOXO8iDe3SGpbA7sFLmjJ6mS78BZm41NaR-tbPoy-TFKxyHFDmSrnBQQDmkz2_rmNUcMuQ5lfEKef10JRkOdyYGaY5yjk7Kky9UgkRxMu/s320/salvia+flowers+pictures.+%25284%2529.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> <span style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;"> </span><span style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;">Other varieties of the salvia flower are thought to be perfectly safe, and are used for a number of other reasons. Most of these plants are grown simply as ornamental flowers, but they may also be used to create smudge sticks for traditional events; to be cooked or eaten fresh, as some types are a good source of protein; or even as proper folk remedies for things such as sore throats and coughs, eczema, dandruff and even bad breath.</span></span><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbvGIcZjhf9BRJTiJmhXTvFA350Nt-W_Wq4s5f9NcYQkbMUsAnQGHVgjIJuJyKFsenNFg-6AEnwaL2Y1qPDDqN5eHWgLQBqkVhaguxv10lVZnLO143ZcGECJoqvVJtHXTJV-iO5qNaaItf/s1600/salvia+flowers+pictures.+%25285%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbvGIcZjhf9BRJTiJmhXTvFA350Nt-W_Wq4s5f9NcYQkbMUsAnQGHVgjIJuJyKFsenNFg-6AEnwaL2Y1qPDDqN5eHWgLQBqkVhaguxv10lVZnLO143ZcGECJoqvVJtHXTJV-iO5qNaaItf/s320/salvia+flowers+pictures.+%25285%2529.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> <span style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;">Due to its highly curative nature, salvia is thought to be one of the best symbols associated with healing. It is also said to represent a long life, wisdom, esteem and good health. As a gift, this flower is often given to those coming back from illness or some emotional distress.</span></span><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRxT_7vSjlx0feARHxgnr8CZSeVsy-74l-JtYIvGNbPbdHuKCkUviJNBQkGOoq03JG810ub6inqXgWIxLVuShNKKSuoHl510PiwekUzQ-jHx0260aLhzvQkBidPJsCYzJAMoCvQKtJJbWO/s1600/salvia+flowers+pictures.+%25286%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRxT_7vSjlx0feARHxgnr8CZSeVsy-74l-JtYIvGNbPbdHuKCkUviJNBQkGOoq03JG810ub6inqXgWIxLVuShNKKSuoHl510PiwekUzQ-jHx0260aLhzvQkBidPJsCYzJAMoCvQKtJJbWO/s320/salvia+flowers+pictures.+%25286%2529.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div style="background-color: white; margin-bottom: 0.5em; padding-bottom: 5px; padding-left: 5px; padding-right: 5px; padding-top: 5px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">They may also be given to tell the recipient that you wish them well being and a happy, hardy life. Although these plants can make lovely embellishments to large arrangements, they are best presented as a potted plant that can grow and be enjoyed for years to come.<span style="line-height: 20px; text-align: -webkit-auto;">This amazing salvia flowers for almost the whole year, except for mid-summer, so it starts its long period of bloom at the end of late summer and continues till December, when it has its rest. It is a more manageable size than most of the other large shrubby salvias, but is still tall (ht 2-2.5m). It has big, rich blue flowers with dark calyces, which make them look very striking. The colour of the flowers really goes with almost anything in the garden. I like it with rich cerise and bright pink flowers, including other salvias, cannas (such as </span><i style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: -webkit-auto;">Canna iridiflora</i><span style="line-height: 20px; text-align: -webkit-auto;">) and camellias, and it is effective with silver, purple or golden/lime foliage. It also looks stunning with hot colours, such as orange, red and yellow flowers, or autumn leaves. It tends to sprawl a bit and probably needs to be staked, but can be chopped back at any time of the year and will still go on producing flowers. Regular removal of one woody stem will enable it to almost continually flower, apart from its rest from December to February, which is the best time to prune it hard. It is best in a sunny spot but will flower reasonably well with a little shade.</span></span><span style="background-color: transparent; text-align: left;"></span></div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline" /></div>
