Do you recognize this herb?

My Bergamot in flower last year!

Stop showing off!

I'm jealous enough as mine is about 2 inches...

THIS year the clump has trebled in size and is twice as high!

He's got summat to show off about though, hasn't he? I had this in my old garden. I think I ought to be looking for it again!

This is bergamot the herb. You use the leaves to make tea as you would mint. It is a relative of mint (has square stems).

The Bergamot used in Earl Grey Tea is a citrus fruit and it is the essence of skin of the fruit that is used.

Thanks for that information, srodders.
