There are many wonderful native herbaceous plants and flowers growing in the wild that are all too often overlooked or forgotten. I think this is one of them.
Name: josephine Arlington, Texas (Zone 8a) Hi Everybody!! Let us talk native.
I am not familiar with those plants, but it looks like they would be a great asset to the butterfly garden.
Thank you for showing us all those different types.

Thanks for a delightful article on an even more delightful little herbal wildflower. I'm afraid these past few dry summers have taken their toll on my Mountain Mints also. While reading your article, I could almost smell their crisp, clear, minty fragrance again.

Pod, I'll keep looking and hoping for it to come back; for both of us!
Catmint, thank you for your photos and comments about your mountain mints. I've been drooling over your Pycnanthemum muticum since the day I saw your picture.
May your life be like a wildflower, growing freely in the beauty and joy of each day --Native American Proverb

thanks, Christine. I have to confess that the P. muticum was not in my yard but at a Monarch Waystation area that a church had set up--I was so delighted to see this! I have similar visions for my P. muticum! The P. flexuosum is mine, though.
