Cait's Garden

A friend taught me the term “volunteer” to describe unexpected seedlings in the garden. I found it to be a charming name. I seldom get volunteers that I truly desire, so it is with great surprise to find I have several volunteer salvias this spring. I’ve had salvias for 15 years and never before had volunteers. I read they may turn out differently than their parent. But there is no such thing as a bad salvia, so I am content. Or I will be when they are big enough to move to a more purposeful location.
