Lamium amplexicaule
This member of the Mint family often appears as a garden weed. The 1/2- 2/3 inch (1.3-1.6 cm) long flowers circle the square stem in the axils of the upper leaves. The lavender flowers have two lips (with the upper lip being concave) that join to form a tube and four protruding stamens.
The roundish, scalloped, opposite leaves are .5-1.5 inches (1.3-3.8 cm) long. Upper leaves are stalkless but lower leaves are long stemmed. Henbit is common in fields and along roadsides. Flowers bloom in March to April.
