smooth hedgenettle

this is stachys tenuifolia of the family lamiaceae:

this flower is arranged as clusters. this was taken April 21, 2009 in my parents back yard. this plant was one of five to ten dozen plants that abut the fence. the sun had already moved behind the house so the back yard was shadowed, but the sky was a crystal clear blue.
