Distinguishing mints?

7 years ago

Hi all -- I've had two different mints growing in pots on a shaded deck for years. My mother purchased this one for me, but it had no tag. I've always thought it was peppermint:



Then a friend dug some of this from his garden for me.... I think it's spearmint:



A taste test tells me the first plant has a much stronger menthol component. I do know that a combination of the two makes a fantastic creme de menthe. :O) Would you agree on my peppermint/spearmint IDs?
