Checking in from Poland!
Over the last few days I've been a little less active on Hive. That doesn't mean I've been lazy though. Quite the opposite. I've been working hard on launching my new project. I slowly started feeling that maybe it was finally time to build something of my own. And that's how https://ladytruckview.com/ was born – my own blog.
Of course, I'm not leaving Hive. I'll still be here, sharing my posts regularly. My blog is simply meant to complement everything I do here. I already have lots of ideas for it, so I hope I'll be able to bring them to life one by one. The website is still brand new and, for now, there's only one article available, but I'll be adding new content regularly. I also hope it will become another small gateway to Hive. This platform has given me a lot, and if my blog helps even a few people discover this amazing community, I'll be really happy.
So, if you have a moment to visit my website, I'd love to hear what you think about it. I'll gladly accept any feedback, as it will help me build a better website that's even more useful for future readers.
But returning to the star of today’s post—namely - the purple salvia. Some time ago I had already posted a few photos of it in its natural form on my profile, but today I’d like to show you its other, slightly more creative side. Have you ever wondered why sage is purple? Well, it’s because shades of purple and blue are particularly visible to insects like bees and bumblebees, which is why many insect-pollinated plants have those colors.
And since we’re on the topic of bees and bumblebees, did you know that when a bee enters the inside of a flower, the sage’s stamen is triggered and dusts the bee with its pollen? This way, the pollen then reaches another flower. Nature can sometimes come up with truly ingenious solutions!
We actually have about a thousand species of salvia! And depending on the type, it can bloom from summer all the way into autumn. Additionally, it’s worth mentioning that sage is very resistant to weather conditions. It needs to be grown in fertile soil, can withstand drought, and that’s why it’s so highly valued and favored by gardeners. It’s often planted in gardens and parks.
