I have to say my favorite thyme is orange balsam thyme which has a spicy/fruity scent. It is not the same as Orange Spice (which isn't as strong as the balsam). My second favorite is Lemon thyme.
Any other's that are your favorite?
Orange Balsam Thyme - wonderful scent
My favourite is lemon thyme - I use it a lot in cooking too. I don't know the orange balsam one though. That sounds great.
I'm very fond of Silver Posy too. That looks so lovely when it makes new growth after a trim and smells delicious.
mmm, I can smell them now.. Lemon grass smells wonderful too. and I understand it is great for cooking. LOL
Going to search for that orange balsom thyme.

I bought mine at Bluestone perennials

Thanks for the link.. I was in Lowe's/Depot yesterday and Silver Queen Thyme just jumped right in my buggy.. chuckle.. and today at Walmart,, some geraniums and flat-leaf parsley did the same.

Did you grow the orange balsam thyme from seed and if so, where did you find it?
If you go up a couple posts, Mobi said the plants came from Bluestone.
Thymes are wonderful. I love Rose Petal thyme too - smells more of rose-scented geraniums rather than a true rose, but heavenly. And Thymus herba-barona is a nice earthy thyme.
