Valerianella?

If I look at wikipedia the leaves look different to me. But the flowers do look the same. Only the colour is different, but I suppose that there can be different colours.

By the way: I find the flowers very similar to forget-me-nots. But those really have different leaves.

So is it, or is it not?

If it is, it is something very healthy. But there are only a few, so not very useful.

Give it some more time. But later on if it doesn't develop a chocolate-like smell even when a leaf is crushed, and doesn't green up a little, take it back to the nursery. Nurseries have been know to make mistakes...I've gotten a couple of plants that didn't turn out to be what they were supposed to be.

they grow indoors... and i don't know what changed, they get plenty of water and sun as usual one day they started to have this purple spots on 2-3 leaves now its all over the place and the new ones also grow purple and not healthy... about the mint rust, i think it could be the case, but from what i read in the link it pretty much says that i should get rid of the plant and the contaminated soil... :( any tips how to prevent this in the future?

Lemon Balm (Melissa officinalis) is an ultra hardy perennial and its natural habit is to die to the ground over winter and re-emerge in the spring. Trying to keep it leafy in the winter indoors is likely doomed to failure imo. Indoor winter growth would almost certainly be sickly and unattractive. It needs its winter rest and trying to make is work 12 months of the year will just weaken it. This post was edited by florauk on Sun, Aug 18, 13 at 7:53

Whats wrong with my mint plants!

James - this is a very long running mint saga! The advice would be the same as it was last year. Lots of light, a little water and cool temperatures. In Glasgow, in Winter you are pushing the boundaries. The mere fact that it has survived this long should be cause for celebration. There is nothing wrong with it in so far as it is behaving normally for indoor mint in Winter which has just been chopped down. Outdoors it would be going dormant now so yours is trying to do the same.
