Can anyone tell me what the name of this plant is. It is quite showy - about 3 meters tall and large flowers. It looks to be in the mint or verbena family - opposing leaves.

I will try to remember to do that going forward. I am using a Nikon D60 with the Nikon 18-200mm VR (original version) most of the time.

Re: Playing cards?

I went to five 7/11s last night and could not find cards. Any other ideas?
