A bee feasting on the nectar of Pineapple Sage ((Salvia Elegans). Each time I walk down my path past this plant I grab a leaf and crush it to release the pineapple scent. The leaves are edible - can be used to make a tea or in salads, salsas etc. I have been told the flowers are also edible but have not sampled one. The nectar rich flowers attract the bees and butterflies and small birds.
