Not sure about that... is it a spurge?
Somebody will put us right soon enough!

Are the pink flowers on the plant or one next to it? If so, then a close up of them would help. ;D
The pinky mauve flowers are on the plant. I keep trying to get a close up but it's been so windy here this week. ::) Will try harder. ;) How's this? ;D

Well the flowers are similar to a salvia, but the leaves seem all wrong...... :-\
Is it a Monarda?

Hey, thanks Toadspawn, you're right! I've just looked it up and found the following:
M. citriodora and M. pectinata have light lavender to lilac-colored blooms and have slightly decreased flower quantities. Both species are commonly referred to as "Lemon Mint."
And now I'll let you all in on a little secret. It's growing in a pot labelled lemon mint (seed courtesy of a kind poster here) which I assumed was a culinary herb! What am I like? ::)
Anyway, I think it's really pretty and it's good to know its 'proper' name. :)

also know as bee balm.....rather like that name :)

I've just sown a pot of seed of that one, GW. ;D Can't remember the genus offhand.
