7-9 Wild Basil

7-9
Pink or purple flowers in bristly terminal clusters make Wild Basil easy to identify. Look for it in edge habitats.
Purple striped white or purple flowers and a hairy stem are identifiers for Hemp Nettle. It grows along roadsides and in waste places.
The purple or green flowers of Helleborine - an introduced orchid - pop up almost anywhere. Some call it the 'weed orchid."
