    Leaf looks like ajuga, but I'm probably way off  :)

     Thank you dappledshade and Papi Jo for the suggestion but it is not Ajuga...which I know well.
    Stem is not square.
    Flower is different shape etc.

    One of the Scutellarias perhaps?

    @Silver surfer I don't understand. Are those new photos the same plant as in your original post?
  • Silver surferSilver surfer Posts: 4,719
    Ooops! Sorry Papi Jo.
    Didn't mean to confuse.
    Ist...3 pics are mystery plant.
    Next ....2 pics are Ajuga reptans to show square stem...shape of flowers.
     So simple comparison can be made.

    I thought the first photos, it looked like a salvia. Salvia patens leaves a calyx like that.

    Ok not ajuga reptens, but not salvia patens either.

    Salvia verticillata has whorls of flowers like that, and similar rosette of leaves. I have not seen that colour form before

    Thank you Berghill for your suggestion.
    All the Scutellaria that I know have a sort of hood over the top of the flower.
     See pic of a pink one  SCUTELLARIA  SUFFRUTESCENS  TEXAS  ROSE..so I do not believe mystery flower is Scutellaria
