A few months ago, we acquired a Cuban oregano plant. Does anyone have
any experience using Cuban oregano or drying the leaves?

I was going to ask if it's like Mexican oregano... but it's not.

Apparently, it's Indian Borage.

I bought a Cuban oregano plant in the spring. It did the best of all the
herbs I put on the deck--until the first frost. I'm not sure how
successful it would be to dry the leaves, since it is a succulent-type
plant.

Have you used it for anything? I had a plant but it smelled to me
like a cross between turpentine and moth flakes or camphor and so I
was never tempted to put it in food.
