Lamium sandrasicum

This is a dead nettle, but a small rare one.

Wow, it is like an orchid.  I love these small flowers where you have to get upclose and personal to see them!  I do spend a lot of my time laying on my lawn looking into my flowers.  Yes, I know....the men in white coats are aware.

Fantastic flower - and a superb photo too. Just lovely.

This is the actual plant from which the flower shot was taken. The flowers are about 3 cm tall and 1 cm wide.

Eric, I vote that you take a photo of your alpine house to show all the plants.  I don't mean loads of individual, just one shot (or 2) taken today along it.  As I saw it some 2+ years ago, I reakon it must have matured amazingly by now!

Much more interesting than the various lamium taking over my garden! (Though they do provide some green in winter!)
