agastache cana
''Agastache cana'', more commonly known as the mosquito plant, Texas hummingbird mint, and "double bubble mint", is a hardy perennial belonging to the genus Agastache (pronounced ag-uh-STAH-kee). The genus name Agastache is derived from the Greek word meaning "a lot of", and stachy, meaning "spike", which refers to the flower's 12 terminal spikes that decorate the plant. These spikes remain through the growing season from early summer to late fall.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.missouribotanicalgarden.org/gardens-gardening/your-garden/plant-finder/plant-details/kc/b411/agastache-cana-sinning-sonoran-sunset.aspx )〕 The Mosquito Plant is native to New Mexico and western Texas, where it grows in mountainous areas at altitudes of 6,000 feet.
==Morphology==
Individuals of this species grow to an average height of 3 feet by 2 feet wide in a shrub habit. It is an erect perennial species with ovate leaves, semi-woody structure, and profuse branching. The flowers of the mosquito plant are 5 zygomorphic petals fused into a tube shape. Two of these petals extend forward like a visor, while the other 3 petals form a reflexed lip. The flowers are arranged in whorls accompanied by compact spikes. The tubular shape flower blossoms as dark pink clusters and towers over the mint scented foliage. The fruit that arise from these plants divide into 4 dark nutlets each about 2 mm long. The grayish-green colored leaves (cana means grey) has a mint bubblegum fragrance. The flowers are hermaphroditic, which means the flower contains both male and female parts.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.pfaf.org/user/Plant.aspx?LatinName=Agastache+cana )〕 ''A. cana'' is a prolific organism, which means it actively reproduces all growing season. It begins to blossom in early June and continues to bloom until late September.〔
