Found this nice flower on my last trip towards Akamas and wonder if members know which plant it is...

Dominic's orchid blog showed a wild iris, which looks very different

Perhaps a plant from the Labiatae family, similar to Dead Nettle?
Lovely colour!

So far no answer was correct - I thought it is only a bit tricky...

Is it a lupin? Just one flower from the spire?

So perhaps it is easier now, watching this pic, to find the right answer...

To me, it definately resembles the 'Snapdragon' (Antirrhinum) species, but perhaps a wild version?

YES Kay, it is wild sage. I am using it for cooking p.e. Saltimbocca alla Romana, or for tea with honey which is a Cypriot remedy for colds...
Only the wild form has this nice flower like an orchid...
