I had once grown three of the plants in the picture when I was in Australia. They are rosemary, mint and oregano. I don't know the plant on the left of the picture down the bottom. Oregano is the one you are looking for. Below is some useful info.
Physical characteristics:
Greek Oregano, in bloom, reaches a height of almost two feet. Like all culinary oreganos, its flower is white. Its leaves are coarse, oval, and fuzzy. Leaves are about 5/8 inch long; they are dark green when fresh and light green when dried.
Usage:
In Greek cooking, oregano is used in tomato sauces, with meats, fish, cheese, egg dishes, salads, cheeses, and with vegetables including tomatoes, zucchini, and green beans. It is also used to prepare a tea that is believed to be a treatment for indigestion, coughs, and to stimulate menstruation. |
