.... 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... ))... songbird |
