441 Coarse veined leaf =Lamium (dead nettle)


Dead nettle family, but I think it's the red flowered hedge woundwort,
Stachys sylvatica, which smells something horrid when you pull it up.

Dunno the only one I am familiar with is the white one which makes a very
handsome plant with an almost impossible tap root.

White flower looks like a forget-me-not (a white one)


It's a bedstraw - if you look closely, it has 4 petals not five, and you
can see several of the characteristic whorled leaves - 1in to the L and
0,5 inches down, for example.

Yes got it know. You have good eyesight or is mine getting even worse.
I don't know what the abundant shoots which fill up most of the photo are.

Me neither and he did not ask. I suppose Lysimachia clethroides might fit
some. I think I can see Oenothera or perhaps Hesperis matronalis.
He certianly has a goodley collection of plants
