The title is deceiving because the strain Blosser Palatable so named for its less bitter taste, has been a pain in my hide since we first met. And She rankles about it- but what she really says is that I haven't found the right place for her.
When she was put alongside the Hofmann plant in dirt that was not to their liking (previous blog), the Blosser stopped short and stopped growing. It yellowed, got mites easily, and refused to produce a decent cutting. What perhaps I could never figure out about the Blosser was why was it so finicky.
I've never been wowed by any cutting or plant of the Blosser Palatable strain. Sure it can produce decent cuttings with decent sized leaves and a strong stem but its always slightly yellow or withered on the edges. In fact it is always the first plant in the greenhouse to come down with bugs or sickness. I'll try to think of nice things to say about Blosser later- I feel rude right now.
Perhaps its one great purpose is that for those that enjoy taking Salvia fresh by chewing it, would depend on the Blosser for its less bitter taste. Salvia D is notorious for its acrid bitter taste and Blosser, natures answer to our complaints produced a less bitter solution. Blosser Palatable. Don't be surprised if i don't apend this blog. Sorry B.
