That's a Monarda, Sheilal, i love these :-))

How pretty.

That's lovely, must look out for some

Thank you Louise / Cammomile and Cestina for answering me so quickly.

I am so pleased its not a weed because it has such a pretty flower.

I planted a few plants last year which did not come up so am really pleased that something has survived the winter.

I will look it up now and find out some more info about it.

It is such a pretty plant that I would keep regardless of whether it is a weed. I think it is a pretty plant. It looks like a climber in which case I am going to look it up. ;~)))

Just looked it up and no it isn't a climber but a lovely plant for mid border

And the leaves are added to Tea leaves to make Earl Grey Tea.

I thought oil of bergamot (an extract from the plant) was added to the tea? This is one that slugs and snails absolutely LOVE!!

You're right! I was told it was the leaves of this plant by someone. Just goes to show, you should always double check information for yourself.
