Day 51 of 52 Nia dance
Pineapple sage (salvia elegans) is a perennial (in Oregon) and part of the mint family. It doesn’t start blooming in my garden until mid September. Then it kind of loses its mind with these spikes of brilliant red. The neighborhood hummingbirds love it.
I do too. It will keep blossoming like this until we get some freezing weather and that could be well into December. Enjoying it this morning right before I started Nia, I decided that salvia elegans is my spirit flower, blooming spectacularly but late in the season when many other flowering plants have wrapped up the show.
Today I did a repeat of the moving to heal routine “Selfless,” which I tried for the first time on Sunday and found quite emotionally cathartic. Today’s experience was less fraught, more just enjoying the routines and the music.
