Flower to identify
Submitted by lile001 on Mon, 07/19/2010 - 21:55
I haven't had much luck identifying this flower. It is blooming on the 18th of July here in Central Mo. Seems to like shady areas, at least two specimens do. flowers are very small, my eyes are not good enough to count the petals!

I'm pretty sure it's Slender Mountain Mint (Pycnanthemum tenuifolium). It has a very strong and distinctive mint odor. It's not particularly showy, but it is a desirable native and can be commonly found in prairies and along roadsides.
