We recently visited Ardenwood Farm in Fremont CA. There were 2 interesting Salvias that I would very much like to know what they are. I will try posting the photos... haven't had much luck to date.
The first appeared to be about 6' tall, but that may not be it's usual growth habit since it was growing in and out of a briar patch; lets say each branch was about 6' long.
The whorls were quite large 4-5 inches across.
This Salvia is represented by the first 2 photos
The Second was a 10'2" tall shrub that was at least 8' wide, The base alone was 4' across. I couldn't find much about it... even the name they gave was wrong... they said Picanté... no latin name. The next 4 photos aren't in very good order but still show you what I mean.
The leaves looked like S.eglans but had a faint pine smell, weren't sticky, and were leathery.
I thought it might be S.regla but didn't resemble the images on Google sites.
I tried putting the photos on site, but no luck, so here's a direct link:
