| | Herbs: Lemon Balm |
 | | Lemon Balm's scientific name is Melissa officinalis, "Melissa" being a Latin derivation of the Greek word for honey bee ("officinalis" indicates that the plant is medicinal in nature). | | | It is not surprising that honey and Lemon Balm have a natural affinity. | | | Among the noise of these blossoms, there is one plant, Lemon Balm, that quietly waits to be noticed; it doesn't have eye-catching flowers. |
