Doug's mint - dougs-mint.jpg
 

A friend of mine runs a place called Hillbilly Acres a couple towns
over. He's got wonderful stuff, but none of it's labeled. I have no
idea what this is, but it's cute. Any clues would be appreciated.

I think it is this one, too, because it's an annual. Thanx!

It's a variety of Monarda called Lambada:

It's my favorite Monarda. I have to mail order mine, as I haven't found it for
sale in Georgia.

It does look like it, but it isn't a perennial, it's an annual, so I
guess It's Monarda citriodora - if you look here you'll see the
similarities.
