Looks like it is pennyroyal , and yes Steve , it is a member of the mint
family . I'll be getting some seeds ...

wish you were more local, i could happily have
you come over and dig up what's left of it.

for next season i forgot to mention the venerable
sunflower as they are later season flowers.

babies breath and mums are two other garden plants
we have which bloom later.

for a little earlier blooms the wallflowers are bee
magnets (if you like orange). for a little later
the buttefly weed (orange, yellow or reddish) are
also nice to look at. the flower clusters are the
same type as the milkweed, but the orange is a nice
change. these have been blooming for a little
while here, but it's one of my favorite wildflowers.
the pods are like the milkweed too, fuzz all over
blowing seeds around (the key to harvesting these
seeds is to pick the pods a little before they fully
split open and then you can hold the fuzz together
while taking the seeds off (he says after doing
several other fun things with pods, seeds and fuzz...
))...
