@TheHorse I'm sure it's Spanish/French lavender. expand both your photo and the one of mine I labeled lavender and I think you will agree. It's gorgeous right now and I see it had babies after the rain and is spreading. I'm delighted.

Dang it, I just saw some lavender for sale at Trader Joe's. I sniffed it. I squished some of the leaves and smelled my fingers. Now I think it IS lavender.

It looks like Rosemary to me but I'm kind of far away to have a good look.

If I'm right then I dedicate this song to you and your beautiful plants.

I'm a nature buff but am not good at remembering the names of things. I only learned to differentiate Indian Warrior from Indian Paintbrush maybe four years ago. Both grow wild in the hills here.

@TheHorse I don't remember lavender being in the song so cross it off the list.

Does it smell like rosemary? The leaves look like rosemary. I know its not sage I have sage growing here. the leaves of sage are roundish-oblong and thick, with a covering of like velvet, you would know the smell.

@Michellekidwell I'm leaning toward lavender now. I saw some for sale at TJ's yesterday evening and it looked a lot like what we have at the school.

It looks like some form of lavender to me. Lavender is supposed to calm you down, kids too. It could be a variety of rosemary. Sage has larger leaves. These look more like needles. Both sage and rosemary are great culinary herbs. Rosemary is for "remembrance" as Shakespeare said. It is proven to help memory. Sage makes one wise, among other things. So, no matter what, growing it near the preschool will produce good effects.

Interesting. I was thinking either sage or rosemary. The flowers made me decide it was sage (tentative hypothesis). The leaves ARE small and "needle-like."

I'd say that was sage... They both have purple flowers but rosemary has darker leaves.

kind of reminds me of lavander,but it's not quite right. if the leaves are really sticky to the fingers it might be rosemary.my ex's mom had a hedge made of that and it'd gum up clippers every time.

Rosemary and sage are both strong bushes that survive in winter and do not need a lot of water. This is nor sage or rosemary, it looks like Spanish lavender to me.

@TheHorse Lavender smells good, the flowers of rosemary are different, the leaves of the sage totally different.

Now I'm leaning in that direction as well. I saw some for sale at Trader Joe's yesterday evening. The backs of the flowers looked longer, but the petals and leaves looked right. The smell was right too.

I love spring when all the flowers bloom but I think that it neither of your guesses. Looks like lavender but I could be wrong.

The photo isn't clear and I can't smell it. Lavender doesn't fit with your song and I don't like the scent of it do I won't suggest that as the identity of your plant.

On the other hand, after taking a closer look at your photo, I've changed my mind. I think it's French(aka Spanish) lavender. Here's a picture of my French Lavender. It's currently in full bloom.

They are lovely and yes, both sage and rosemary are great for seasoning especially poultry. But it looks like you've got a lavender plant there but anyway I did some looking online now here is a photo of the sage plant I found online. You decide.
