Description: Bought this week from Jennie Maillard at Usual and Unusual Plants - a really very striking species - the blue 'hook' contrasts really gorgeously with the white 'apron' and the red calyces.

Description: Bought this week from Jennie Maillard at Usual and Unusual Plants - this is one of the South African species. I just looked it up (Wikipedia has some stunning photos of it) and it looks like being both enormous (6ft across and 4ft high) and too tender for us here - being from the Cape coast. Never mind - it's good enough for a pot, brought in in winter. Having said that, I've been looking around at my tender plants and wondering where they're all going to go. Date: 7 October 2011, 09:32.

Description: Bought this week from Jennie Maillard at Usual and Unusual Plants. Potentially a large evergreen shrub. Coming from the Western Cape it'll need a winter watering regime with a drier summer. The species name means 'dwarf elaeagnus'. Date: 7 October 2011, 09:32. Source: Salvia chamelaeagnea.
