Hi Wit, I have googled hyssop and I think you might well be right.
It has some scent to it, though not the most impressive on the planet. It might be because it was growing under an escallonia and I very much doubt that it ever got a glimpse of the sun.
I think aromatic herbs do, usually, best in full sun, so I will transplant it most carefully, taking all the soil attached to its roots with it.
Experts reckon that if you are on a bus or train in an average city , one in nine people will have the same DNA as yourself ; distant relatives from bygone generations . Perhaps we are related somewhere
That all depends if you're into religion or fairytales ; I'm certainly not ! Speaking of 'small world' ; google Carl Sagans 'Pale Blue Dot' on YouTube . Amazing !

Thank you, Paul. I will look up Δανάη (!!) racemosa. Fame indeed!
How kind you are, Borderline. My photos are always lacking in quality, like the photographer herself!
It certainly has a bit that look of a salvia; but let's be patient, someone might have the specific name. Who knows?
The second plant could be hyssop, couldn't it ?
Hooray !!!! Nice one DimWit ; blue Hyssop (Hyssopus officinalis)
I'll sleep easier tonight !!!!!
PS :- Danae ; my surname is Bilyk ; blame my Russian father for that one

Wish me luck!
Good Heavens, Paul! My maternal grand parents came from Russia too.

Anything is possible in such a small world, Paul. And don't forget, all our grandparents were Adam and Eve.
