ID PLEASE??tubular orange, good smelling flower from5/14

21 years ago

I think I picked this up from a husband/ S O who was just babysitting the store in the back of the truck. (maybe a white van)

I just love the color of this little flower and hope someone can help with an ID so it gets planted in an appropriate place. The swap was super and I have other unknowns but this one is special. Any ideas??

Can you be a bit more descriptive? I love orange flowers, and hope to help you get an ID on the one you mentioned.

Thanks Sparky, the flower shape is like the one on my purple sage but the flowers are individual rather than in a column. The leaves are heart shape finger nail size and rather thin or frail. It looks like maybe some sort of mint but the odor is not particularly minty. Today is rainy and the scent is barely noticeable.
Flower also has a small purple filament extending from the opening. The color contrast is striking.
Guess I could take a photo and send it to you. BB

Perhaps an Agastache?

Yes! That is it and it is adorable. Thanks for the detective work Carol.
I only took 1/4th of what was in the box ): I hope the rest of it found a good home too. I have hummingbirds already in the wigelia and the azaleas. Maybe this is still too small for them to notice but I'm very happy to have it.
Thanks again to Carol and Sparky for their help and to the trader who brought this little cutie. See you in the fall BB (heading for Kodiak in about a month)
