    It's a monarda, I think Monarda punctata, common name "horsemint".

    the flower is coming up on a stem coming out of center of flower, then stem comes up from that flower and another flower forms, I looked at the horsemint picture on the internet and it really doesn't look like what I have. Thank you for your reply

    Definitely something in the mint family, but there are also a few Monarda look-alikes (at least superficially) like Leonotis (though I don't think there is a pink cultivar)

    I will throw in that is horsemint for sure. Grow all along the hightway in Dallas/Fort Worth for sure. Also of interest, if you ever have flea trouble, put it around and they will leave. They hate it.
