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.

I don’t know this plant but seems beneficial…
Beautiful plant, nicely captured!
Hmm… I’ve no idea what it is tho 😕
I have put hashtag #mint but it seems that nobody noticed that!?
OMG!! Now i know where to look for hints! :p
All I can say the photo is amazing.
Thank you very much!
Well you have stumped me for sure. I love both pictures though. Geeze, I keep thinking about it..I cannot for the life of me come up with a name.
I’m sure you saw this herb. It also grows as a wild herb in humid environments, at the edge of rivers. Have you ever drunk mint tea??
I have never drank mint tea. I do know of it though. So, a type of mint you say? 😉
Yes! It is a peppermint flower! Only the leaves are used for tea.
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.
Thank you Sharon! It is a plant commonly found in my area. We usually use it to make tea.
I won’t even hazard a guess.
The picture is amazing – may I ask what camera you are using for the Macro pictures?
Thank you! In most cases I use Nikon D7500 and Sigma 105mm f / 2.8 EX DG HSM Macro lens.
My daughter has a Nikon camera, she loves it! You do a great job with the Macro pictures!!!!
It is a good camera. It’s a bit heavy for my hands that are not that strong but I love it too.
I have two cameras currently. An Olympus point and shoot and a Canon DSLR.
The canon is heavy, the pictures are so much brighter!
I would say a lavender colored flower.
It is not lavender. Lavender flowers are borne in the whorls, held on spikes rising above the foliage.
I made another error on this site.
It is not an error! It’s just a confusion! None of us know all the flowers.
Flowers is not my field of expertise.
I think its rosemary but at in initial stage , Is that so ?
It is not rosemary. I do not have it in my garden!?
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.
Rosemary perhaps? I know it looks like your photos and has a wonderful scent.
Rosemary has needle-like leaves.
Catmint maybe… I know some mint blooms purple.
It is peppermint flower.?
Oh I have never seen peppermint before, cool!
