lamiaceae & verbenaceae week: Salvia officinalis from my garden in Ritterhude

[Na Bha]

Here are some fotos of Salvia Officinalis taken in June 2010 from my
garden in Ritterhude.

Salvia is native to the Mediterranean region but can be found in gardens
in northern regions too. As the name suggests it has healing properties.
Tee from Salvia leaves is very good against cold and cough. Fresh and
dry leaves are used in the kitchen in many, mainly in fischrecipies.
I have plenty of Salbei in my garden and I cut the branches and hang
them over the fireplace. In winter, if we make fire the room is filled
with Salbeifragrance. It si a lso supposed to be insectrepellent.
