A garden plant escaped from cultivation in New England. Growing at Centennial out in the poison ivy; I shot this in Dover Center. Hummingbird favorite. Mint family.

Oswego Tea
With a bud like a raspberry and purple bracts. Mint family. Bergamot is native, but I think this may be a garden-escapee cultivated variety.
