Golden Oregano in the Garden

My Princess Victoria Louise Oriental Poppies flopped over in the rain and now the blooms are opening on top of the golden oregano.  A charming combination that I didn't plan.  Golden oregano is one of my favorite herbs to add to ornamental beds.  I keep digging up starts and trying them out in different places.  It's tough and thrives on my sloping front bed.

Plus, golden oregano is a delicious herb that is a workhorse in my kitchen and I use the oregano blooms in bouquets.  But it's those chartreuse leaves that thrill me.
