Lamium purpureum

This little plant, which goes by the name of red dead nettle, is not the most striking meadow flower: it is often small and with a rather bland color, as compared to the bright buttercup or the cute violet. Yet when you examine it a bit more closely, don't you think the shape of its complicated petals looks appealing?

Just look at its hood-like and wing-like lobes :-)
