What is it?

Does anyone know what this plant is called?

All I know is that it is a perennial which I grew from a packet of mixed seeds and it is currently flowering. It is about 2 feet high and has already made a 'clump'.

Thanks, Ann.

I was going to click on your link but hadn't got around to it - but- this morning, on the way out I passed the plant and the word 'Monarda' came into my head (don't know where from) and I've just got back and Googled it to find that the mystery plant is, indeed, Monarda.

I must have seen it in a catalogue or something at some time in the past - well, I hope that's the case, otherwise it would be too spooky for words. :roll: :roll: :roll:
