Salvia rather than Lavender
by: Moni

Danny
Looking at the flower again esp in light of the bee vs fly issue and photo quality. It might be the annual blue salvia rather than lavender the flower head looks similar. However as I look at the individual flower that may be salvia. The salvia plant has foliage that is wider at the stem then tapers to a point. The Lavender foliage is very narrow and silvery gray/green...and very fragrant. Hope that helps.
Where did you get the plant? Do you know if it is perennial(stays around all year)? I do not know the weather situation where you are in CA, do you get frost? Frost would kill annual salvia but not lavender.
You might Google these flowers and see what you think.
Thanks for the comment.

Actaully that is a honey bee. Unfortunately the reduction of the photo takes away from the closeness of the actual photo itself. But I can see how you would see that. :-)
Flower fly on Lavender

Looks like flower flies or hover flies on lavender flowers to me.
