I think that is dandelion. Spelled wrong. Thats what the leaves look like. I could be wrong though. That doesnt look like any salvia plant ive ever seen though.
scyrusurcys: Sorry, that is not salvia divinorum. Salvia divinorum has leaves that are thinner, don't have a glossy coating on the top, and S. divinorum leaves also have many more points around the sides, instead of just a few. I recommend a course of action that involves the exploration of the inner sanctum of pain for the individual who sold that to you calling it Salvia divinorum. (If such a thing happened, that is.)' You may compare your images to the images here: http://www.sagewisdom.org/salvlf.html They look quite different.
Hikaru Zero - LOL... No, it wasn't purchased in the intent of recieving S.D. - Actually, it's been sitting on my back porch without any notice until I recently learned of salvia. I think I'm convinced that it is indeed a dandelion, Mabus. I knew I couldn't be that lucky . Thank you both for your replies, as I suppose I will order some of the REAL salvia soon - I'm dying to try it for the first time!
it needs to be a bit taller for me to be certain that it is not - the color is unexpectedly rich, the new leaf is wrong shaped for new leafs, and the big ones are not quite right, dut deformities among a few leaves is not a final distinction. I would also look for a square stem and I don't see any stems yet.
Hehe ... aye, I don't think anyone would be that lucky. Salvia doesn't really grow in the wild (at least not well), as it rarely produces seeds, and even when it does, it rarely grows from them. For a new salvia plant to grow, part of the plant has to fall off and land near the original plant. =P Regardless, when you do get the chance to try salvia, good luck! =D It's a very interesting plant, and you're in for a pretty crazy experience. Just take care and do it right, aye? (If you want tips, check out the sticky thread on this board)
