Can You Guess the Herb?

If you are a regular reader you are probably expecting the usual Simple Saturday Sipper post today. With running around and doing stuff with my mom who is visiting, plus some work thrown in, I just didn't get around to creating or finding a drink recipe this week. So instead, I thought I would show you my latest acquisition for my container herb garden and see if anyone can guess what it is. I was excited to stumble across this little plant, which is something I don't see everyday, and I can't wait to use it.

Do you know what herb it is? If you think you know, leave a comment. There is no prize for being right--only personal satisfaction at your own brilliance! ;-)

I still need to pot it, plus it is looking a little "gangly" right now and needs pruning--including the small pretty white flowers, which will need to be pinched back.

Need a hint? This herb is native to the mountains of South America. It can be used fresh but is often dried and crushed into a powder. If no one guesses the correct answer, I'll put it in the comment section tomorrow.

Simple Saturday Sippers will be back next week--maybe this mystery plant will be one of the ingredients...

Have a wonderful weekend!
