    Can you tell me what I found growing in a pollinator garden? Thanks.

    Answer

    Dear NativesEnthusiast, good afternoon. You have photographed a species of Pycanthemum (mountain-mint) in the Lamiaceae. Unfortunately, the angle it is shot from makes it hard for me to tell you which species this is (I need a side view to observe the inflorescence). It looks closest to Pycnanthemum muticum (clustered mountain-mint), a species with broad, toothed leaf blades.
