| I would be grateful for and ID and any other information (e.g., culinary or other uses) for the lovely mint plants with pink flowers that are growing wild along the roadside near my rural home: Plants are 1 - 3 feet tall. Stems are square; leaves are opposite. I have mint with white flowers in my garden and use it to make tea. Are all members of the mint family useful for tea or are some better than others? Carol H.
