I need help identifying a flower?

It is pretty small. It grows on a stalk to about half a foot high with the leaves wrung around the stem and very wavy looking. It has long purple flowers at the top that acording to my friends at school say are edible. I'm not sure about that. It's native to the south (I think. It grows everywhere) and I can tell by the smell that it's an herb. Any ideas? pictures would help.

Reply:Hi:


I am a landscaper and designer and also live in the south. I am not sure of the specie you are describing. There are several different purple flowers that grow in the south. Some flowers are edible. Some herbs that have purple flowers would be oregano or chives. There are perennial and annual flowers that also may fit your description.





I will link you to the gallery of plants section of my website. There is a page on annual and perennial flowers. Maybe one of these flowers will be yours. I will also link you to the site map, as this page has everything that is on the website. Browse through and see if there is anything else that might help you with this or any other garden project or plant specimens. Good luck to you and if you need further suggestions or help, I would be happy to continue to help you find the identity of this specimen. Have a great day!
