This was given to me a short while ago. It's in a container so I'm guessing it could grow larger in the ground. Anyway, I was watering when I noticed the flowers and thought I'd post. I also wonder whether this plant is normally somewhat yellowish it whether it might be soil/container/heat/etc.

Always looking for interesting plants for pollinators and food! Bonus points for highly, and pleasantly scented plants.

Is there drainage holes in that pot? I'm not sure what plant it is but IMHO I think it's going to rot with all that water. Other member's will have more advice for you.
@ WillCreed what do you think??

Yes, there are drainage holes. I allowed it to go dry and was in the process of watering when I snapped the picture. The standing water you see was gone in seconds.
