Have you noticed that the Hoary Mountain Mint is blooming?  

 

You can see it in the neighborhood, especially down by the creek, and all along the roadsides.  It stands about 2 feet tall, and is a bit weedy-looking.  It's easy to spot  because it's white on top.  It looks like it has been dusted with baby powder.  

 

Like all mints, it has square stems, and opposite leaves, and the flower clusters sit atop the leaves.  If you can get close enough to pick some, and crush the leaves, you can smell the mint.  

 

We love seeing it this time of year.  Look for it.

 

HAPPY GARDENING!!!
