mi piace la menta

yes there was a convolvulus clambered onto this plant, the leaves of the mint are visible only in the picture added in the note.

Gorgeous flowers and photo.

Yeah, they do look like classic mint leaves of that there's no doubt.... Unfortunately, the flowers on the vast majority of mints don't help much with ID -- neither do foliage details in many cases (with a few exceptions like chocolate mint, peppermint, sweet mint... but cvs. of sweet mint can only be ID'd via smell &/or taste). There are some cvs. you can narrow down by appearance because they only come in bi-color leaf form, but even that gets more tricky with each passing whim ;) Why classic wild mint wasn't good enough, I dunno =P I mean, really.... When my grandma (who stilled lived off the land) wanted to spice up her mint tea with apples or something like that, she'd cut a slice of apple and add it to the tea, not go out & cross an apple tree with her weedy (and abundant) mint plants ;) And some of them fancy hybrids don't even taste diff't, despite smelling diff't... I grew chocolate mint for a few years and no one (myself included) could taste the difference, though the leaves did have a faint chocolate smell to them, from reg. sweet mint. Once I had enough with the fancy mint not surviving winters where its non-hybrid cousin was growing like a weed, I called it quits and stuck with the reg. mint with a small cube of chocolate on the side =)

SUPERB
