It looks just like wild garden sage(salvia officinalis).My grandma traveled alot and would tell me about how people would heal them selves.Back when tuberculosis was killing every one tea was often made with this plants flowers.

When weeding, the best way to make sure you are removing a weed and not a valuable plant is to pull on it. If it comes out of the ground easily, it is a valuable plant. Mary Ann LaPensee

I love the sweet scents wafting in the breeze. I stop to admire the vibrant colors of all living things. And people think me odd. Then ODD I am!!!
