The lavender flower is Anise Hyssop and the white one is Mountain Mint.

Nice variety of pollinators, Les if they are in your back yard it goes to show the healthy environment that you are living in.

Apisbees......we are trying to give all the critters safe harbor. So enjoyable taking time during the day watching the birds and the bees.

Your pictures reminded me, I used to have a lot of anise hyssop. It must have died out. Anise hyssop sure is a butterfly magnet. Catmint thrives here and is a good magnet for the bees.

Baker...since we are building a pollinator garden, I will be sure to add catmint to the garden. Thanks.

Les, give it plenty of room as it can crowd timid plants out.
