My daily picture – Can you recognise this flower?

Let’s play a game! I’ll give you some clues and you have to recognize this plant.

I have it in my “garden” on the balcony.

It is a medicinal herb with a special scent.

The greatest power of this plant is to improve … the mind. 

The Medieval Monks (the best alchemists) cultivated this plant on the domains of the monasteries and made their  remedies for all the stomach and head sufferings, sufferings born most of the time from stress.

This plant heals only by silence, sweeping away the chaotic movements of the mind and soul and the cramps of the stomach.

  2. I can say t is very lovely. But I can’t make a guess because I am not knowledgeable about the different kinds of flowers. But I admire its beauty.

  3. I am going to guess that it is a lavender plant as it’s scent is often infused in pillows to help a person relax and sleep… If it is not a lavender plant it remains still very pretty.

    • It is not lavender. I have two lavender pots in the balcony, but it has not blossomed yet! ?Lavender looks different. The leaves are thin and have a silver color. This has dark green leaves, oval and toothed on the edges.
