Post #3721490

We were at a party outdoors in the neighborhood over the weekend, and my asthma was bothering me from the pollen etc. Some self-proclaimed "herbal expert" hero went dashing off into the woods, returned with some flowers and stems and shoved them into my hand. He said they were "bee balm."

I've checked all the plants on this website, plus google searches, and don't find any that had thorns.

These flowers and leaves look like the bee balm's and bergamot's that I did find on websites, and they smell like the Bergamot that I have growing in my garden, but they don't have thorns, either.

Any thoughts from anyone on ID'ing this plant???? Thanks if you might have any clues!
