    Flowers are the wrong type for Honesty. That has ones with four petals in a cross shape. This looks more like a member of the mint family, say Stachys macrantha? That is a wild guess though.

    It does look like a Stachys, but I don't know for sure which one.

    I was just looking at that same site before I posted. The only problem is the leaves on it are long and skinny and on yours they are rounder. :?:

    The leaves of this one, the one Palustris mentioned are more like yours tho....
