Anytime! It is a really beautiful plant. I have a few in my yard.
Thanks all! I do believe it's mexican sage afterall.
I'm starting to think I was off base with Purple Loosestrife
Do you have one of the leaves? It definitely looks like mexican sage to me.. http://www.google.com/search?q=mexican+s...
I added a close up pic now. The flowers were fuzzy if that helps. :)
Looks like Mexican Sage to me. Salvia leucantha
Take a look at Purple Loosestrife and see if that fits the bill
Unable to Identify. Flowers are seen here so small. Needed one close picture..
