Jerusalem Sage, Phlomis fruticosa

The sun finally came out for a bit today. I found this little dewy bud
on my Jerusalem Sage this morning. It is a wonderful plant, evergreen,
native of the Eastern Mediterranean. The deer don't go near it and though it
has a short bloom period the plant itself is attractive. I hope it
doesn't get surprised by a late freeze, and also, I've lost a couple
when we have too much rain, so here's hoping they make it.
