Mint flower. I don't know the kind of mint this is. It may be "Catmint" that I had planted years ago from seed and keeps coming up in spots around the yard.
I'll break off some from time to time and give the raw stems, leaves and flowers to the cats. They chew and lick it while rolling around the floor. Seems to do the trick. ....:-).

Catnip
Nepeta cataria, commonly known as catnip, catswort, and catmint, is a species of the genus Nepeta in the family Lamiaceae, native to southern and eastern Europe, the Middle East, central Asia, and parts of China. It is widely naturalized in northern Europe, New Zealand, and North America. The common name catmint can also refer to the genus as a whole.
The names catnip and catmint are derived from the intense attraction about two-thirds of cats have towards them (alternative plants exist which attract the other one-third).
Yup, definitely catmint. I can't grow it at all, my cats just trash the plants so they have to make do with store-bought
I got plenty growing cats love it. :-)
Ahh no wonder I have seen them sniffing around these lol thanks @manorvillemike
