Botanical name .. I know not so we might have just tacked on the handle Lily without any justification. ;-) > I believe it is a member of the sage {sativa} family. > But .. for the record .. Sage is in the Family Lamiaceae. The Genus is Salvia and then there are around 900 or so members of the Species. Like Common Sage (Salvia officinalis) Kingdom ... Plantae Order ........ Lamiales Family ...... Lamiaceae Genus ...... Salvia Species .... Officinalis I mention this simply to point out the need for the new folks to demand to know the Genus and Species . . and the Origin .. or any EO they purchase. Some species of a genus might be worth $25 a pound while others might be worth $125 a pound. > Beadhussy writes: > Also, there is a flower on our property.
