If it is a weed, it's one of the prettier ones I've seen! Love the color!
I have a yard full of these beauties, but I am pretty sure it's called perilla mint, and it's an herb that I also eat in the summer.
Let me know if I am wrong!
I think you're right. It looks exactly like the photo of "red dead nettle" in my own wildflower field book. Congrats on seeing the beauty of these common little weeds - I too think the flowers are as pretty as orchids.
really pretty color!
I've seen these a lot but have no idea what they are called. Pretty pic, though.
book of quotes... treasures!
Have a great day!

Very pretty. It's not often when both the bloom and the leaves offer beautiful colouring.
That is so pretty. I like the way the colors fade into each other.
Weed or wildflower,it is pretty.
The little colors popping out from the leaves is a nice surprise. Pretty flower.
I think you're a brave person. There is just too much stuff in nature to learn.
I agree with Ruth, either way... it is pretty.
Very beautiful!
Purple Dead Nettle is a member of the mint family,
Insects love the flowers.
Lovely pictures!!
Whatever it is ~ it looks like spring to me Kerri! Pretty!

You've turned this into something very beautiful. I like to say that weeds are just flowers in their dress-up clothes.
I admire your perseverance Kerri in identifying this gorgeous wildflower, and thank you for sharing it with us. I learned something new today.
