    ok so this is my first thread, hope I am not breaking any 'rules' so here we go:

    I found this one in the Edmonton AB vicinity. We had a very dry year and this one we found in the open areas between Salix spp and tall grasses in a imperfectly drained area (dry at the time, but could have periodic soggy soil conditions in other years). All the other plants were about 20 - 30 cm high, but this one was around 35-40 cm high.

    It has a flower similar looking to Scutellaria galericulata, the the leaves are hairless, glossy/glabrous, serrated, and somewhat fleshy, and yes it has a square stem (Mint family). So it may be fairly simple to some mint experts, but I seem to be stuck on this one.

    Thanks for giving it some thought and hopefully I can respond to this, otherwise if you don't hear back from me in 2 weeks, please remove it. Sorry
