Mentha x piperita is a hybrid between spearmint and aquatic mint. I remembered a few things while studying peppermint this week.
My paternal grandmother had a huge garden when we went to visit her as kids. She would take me out there and try to tell me about the plants. The only plant I had eyes for back then was mint. I thought Grandma was crazy the first time she ever picked off a leaf and told me to chew on it. That first bite was full of surprise and tastiness.
The only plant I ever puchased before I moved to Austin was a mint plant. Again, a mint plant was one of the first ones I bought when I started my patio garden in Austin.
Of course, mint is often used to treat stomach issues, and this elm tends to abuse her stomach by shoving stress and nervousness there. I am blessed to have mint hanging around.
