Spearmint (Herbs)

This Spearmint plant is starting to produce flowers. Spearmint flowers are edible. The flowers do not change the quality of the mint leaves, but many folks pinch them off anyway to prevent them from spreading. Spearmint plants produce both runners (stolon) and seeds that can spread quickly and overtake a garden. 
I trimmed one of the plants a few days ago and made mint tea.
