Salvias and Agastache

Today's inspiration cones from the Adelaide Rose Trial Gardens, which we whipped through in the 15 minutes before our parking ticket was due to expire this afternoon. 

Gorgeous Salvias and Agastache shimmering in the light, and cementing my determination to plant loads of these in our back garden.
