Hey Meg,
You KNOW I JUST CAN"T STAY AWAY FROM THESE,
Don't you???????

Red Dead Nettle/Wild Lamium family

Weezie

Thanks Weezie!! Ya know, I read a bit about both of those weeds.. and they seem to be both related to the mint family. Funny. They are both growing all over my yard. (This one, and the other post, which was ground ivy.)

Thanks again!
Meg

Is the stem square? Most edible mints have a square stem. Hope that helps.

I got some of that in my yard I always wondered what it was, I'll have to leave some of it and see if it blooms.

Plantlady,
I always tell people "NEVER EAT ANYTHING THEY ARE NOT COMPLETELY CERTAIN OF WHAT THEY'RE EATING,
ALWAYS BETTER TO BE SAFE THAN SORRY"


Belinda,
They are on the invasive weed list, just so you know...some lamiums are cultivated and used as ground covers...


Lamium White Nancy


Purple Dead Nettle/Henbit

But the wild one's sure know how to survive!!
