Bought this at the nursery the other day i liked the slightly different flower head it has and being a perennial it should come back through next year.

Thanks Denny and Else for stopping by, yes its a weird plant but one that really has caught my attention and have since gone out and bought 2 more plants, Else i have included the link that explains this flower more, as you can get a few varieties Monarda didyma 'Marshall's Delight' but i chose this one as its fragrant and attarcts the bees.
