Description
This specimen of Brown Sage (Salvia africana-lutea) displays numerous striking orange-brown, tubular flowers with prominent white stamens. Its grey-green, somewhat fuzzy foliage provides a soft contrast to the vibrant blooms, set against a clear blue sky. While not a bonsai, its natural upright growth habit could be interpreted as an informal-upright style if cultivated.
