A bud on a Sage plant at the La Source Parfumee Gardens in Provence, France remains tightly closed with its petals still wrapped around the center of the flower. When the bud opens, the flowers on this plant will appear in several clusters of two to six on the stem blooming in an array of colours such as white, pink or a light purple.
