Please can anyone ID this plant? The leaves have no scent.

June 10th. I have been looking through my photos - I reckon my mystery plant is a lovely blue one - it's in the right place, and i think it's a type of Campanula..

Could it be Borage?

Don't know, but its great to see you back - often wondered what you're up to these days.

its not borage. I was thinking perhaps one of the Verbascum hybrids or one of the Campanulas, reminds me a bit of Canterbury bells.

and I echo what Stera says, lovely to see you back.

Looks like my honesty plants before they sprout a flower stem....

Thanks, I don't think that is right. I'll have to wait and see if it flowers. I'll let you know.

what are the stems like round/square, smooth / hairy? has it appeared or was it planted and the label lost? How tall is it and how big are the leaves Spritz? Not honesty though.

All I can think of is spearmint. This looks exactly like spearmint - or something minty. Break off a leaf and smell it. Minty? Don't wait for mint to flower - then it goes downhill. Instead try making mint lemonade like I do. It's a delicious and refreshing summer drink, or iced tea. That's if this is in fact mint. Mint is also a natural bug repellent and for vermin. It will keep away mosquito,

Spritz says it doesn't smell...pity cos it does look minty!

Darn, was hoping you had somethng minty. I'm always grabbing some for this and for that - air freshener too.

is it a self sown Teucrium? that has a similar crinkly leaf.

I think it's growing taller!

have you been trading cows for magic beans again? :o))

Lovely to hear from you again Spritz. I hope you are all well. I have a Lemon Balm given to me by my brother who
said it tastes and smells of lemon but mine does not. It is a member of the mint family and looks very like the photo above.
