You are definitely onto something! After searching a bit based on the plants that looked most like it on the website you linked to, I now believe that it might be a Stachys macrantha. This looks very much like it, and it's apparently a pretty common garden plant. I can smell it tomorrow to help determine, because S. macrantha does apparently have a terrible fragrance.

Sort:  

Awesome! Good research on your end too! S. macrantha could work. I look forward to hearing how the smell test goes! Exciting.

Thanks. The smelling test went pretty bad; my nose is not able to pick up any distinct smell. But it might be because I have a pretty bad sense of smell in general :P

Hahaha. Don't know but thanks for checking. No smell perhaps means it is not mint as mint is usually very powerful. But you never know! Thanks for checking....

I don't think it's mint; the flowers look a bit different. The leaves are a lot like them though.

Ok. I agree with you. I always get stuck on the leaves but the flowers count too! Thanks!

Hehe, that's the opposite of what most people do! :)

Hahaha! Backwards thinking is my specialty!
