I don't think the individual florets last long, but there are a lot of buds on oregano.. actually the wine red buds are the most beautiful part (as well as the best spice IMO, for the common or gardener O. vulgare). I have several different types that emerged over (couple decades) of letting it go weedy mad in my garden, including a white flowered and some different bud architecture but no spires they are all panicles. I'll have to post pics when bouquet season rolls around.
