WILDFLOWER: BLACK HOREHOUND
Common Name: Black Horehound
Latin Name: Ballota nigra ssp. foetida
I spotted this growing at the side of a field, under the shade of a hawthorn tree in April 2019.
This flower looks a lot like hemp nettle, but instead of long spear-tip leaves, it has stubby, pointed-ovoid leaves, and more lobular pink flowers.
