Orthosiphon Labiatus
|
This plant is a member of the family that includes
mint, sage, and rosemary. It has light purple or
pink blooms and only grows to about one meter (about three
feet) across.
|
This bush blooms in spring through summer, and when it blooms
it is covered in small delicate pinkish purple flowers. Here,
in mid autumn, there were still blooms evident.
|
As can be seen in this closeup, the flowers range in color
from a pale pink to a bright lavender with a few drops of
purple here and there. Imagine how lovely this plant is
when in full bloom.
|
The leaf is a flat, almost circular shape with a serrated edge.
The leaf was smooth to the touch, and was neither fuzzy nor sticky.
|
This family of plant is cultivated for its herbal properties, and includes
many important herbs such as mint and rosemary and sage. This particular plant
is native to South Africa.
