Re: What is Turkestani Oregano?

Did you ever receive any info on the oregano below, William?  I ask because
this spring I acquired what was labelled as 'Kurzhestani Oregano" (no sci
name given) and it sounds very much like what you describe below. In
addition, leaves are are on the chartreuse side and stems are reddish in
color; leaves have that nice "oregano" scent to them... Would like to find
the scientific name..
