Round Leaf Mint Bush isn't some shy wallflower, she is all dressed up in her purple party dress and shouting out loud and proud, "Look at me, I'm so beautiful."
And she is.
At this time of year, Round Leaf Mint Bush is the belle of the ball. She is dressed in masses of purple flowers, you simply can't pass her by, she wants attention and indeed she gets it.
Beauty draws our eye however it is expressed and we all desire to be surrounded by beautiful people, places and plants. Beauty is an essential ingredient in our lives and Round Leaf Mint Bush is not only beautiful but her leaves make an exotic ingredient in our kitchen. Her delicate round leaves are packed with flavour and hide beneath her purple garb. Her leaves have a minty flavour unlike regular mint flavours we are accustomed to in lollies, chocolate or toothpaste, but a more earthy, herb flavoured mint. When you crush the leaves, they have an amazing scent and that indicates the flavour you can expect.
Tasmania has three different mint bushes, and they make their homes along rivers and streams with the most breathtaking scenery. They enjoy absolute river frontage, watch platypus and fish cruising by and the antics of small birds attracted to their stunning beauty. They don't have to do anything, peace and serenity is their resting place, their centre of gravity, their home. And Mint Bush mirrors these tranquil surroundings in their flavour, reflecting back to us what is already within us, our true calm, serene self.
And she is.
