Hi,

This is actually Lion's Ear (Leonotis nepetifolia) . It is very commonly mislabeled as Leonotis leonurus by gardeners, seed traders, and even commercial sellers.

Thank you, Danita. We'll let this stand for a few days in the hope that the photo owner will respond.

I am the owner of the photo. I will make the suggestion to move it to the correct plant place in the data base. I think the seeds came to me in the swap last year labelled Lion's Tail. So sorry. @danita

Thank you for waiting for a response! @zuzu

The photo of Lion's Ear (Leonotis nepetifolia) WAS labeled correctly in the seed swap, so again my mistake! It is now in the correct place in the database after I proposed the change and it was accepted. The leaves on the Lion's Ear are heart shaped near the bottom part of the plant, which is ONE of its distinguishing characteristics from Lion's TAIL. My picture did not show much of them while trying to capture the hummingbird near the bloom. Thank you for the clarification @danita.
