I 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!", said the tiny man.

"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.

Good 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.

I am guessing some type of salvia or stachys.

Color pattern visible on the right looks like swallows.

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.

Nice 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!

God, 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.

Not 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.
