Or.... umbrella pines? (Pinus pinea)
5 years agoDave and Bill are correct.
5 years agoI think so... Looked at lots of sites, and it appears as though it is.

You make me feel bad, Jen. He’s trapped here for eternity now, like a bug under amber. What can I do?

"Let me out! Or I'll huff and I'll puff and I'll blow your Bike Friday down!"
Nope. Much bigger, and wrong flight pattern. Definitely either pigeons or crows, I’d say; probably both.
5 years agoGood idea, Bill. Oh, wait. It’s a day back in the rear view mirror, and up a mountain to boot. Oh, and I’m pretty good with the pinching piece of the instructions, but I can’t smell. Sorry, teach.
5 years agoI am guessing some type of salvia or stachys.

Sure looks "mint" to me with terminal flower clusters at the leaves, opposite leaves and the stems sure appear squarish. Pinch a bit of a leaf and sniff. Most mints are somewhat aromatic.
5 years agoNice picture!
I was going to say it looks like some kind of orchid...
Glad to see I was at least closing in on it!
No, but maybe it helps to know that we’re finding very little English spoken here, so we’re often confused. Even the bricks won’t strike up a conversation with us!
5 years agoGod, that moon picture is incredible. I see you haven't heeded my plea to go someplace UGLY with bad wine and bad food for a change.
5 years agoNot a mint then - it’s not square stemmed. I didn’t know that about mints - I just picked that up because the leaves suggested it to me.
