Thumbs up March flowers...

Ok found it ... I think it is the
Lamium amplexicaule (Henbit)

They are gorgeous.
Is everything springing in to life after the winter where you are too?



I think this looks like the side profile of a face.

I was going to write (really!) that it's clearly a labiate and, if it were near here, I would see the likeness to a Lamium sp.. As you say, it's all a puzzle but great fun and interesting!

Yes indeed... it's full of flowers and life in nature where I live... and indeed it is beautiful and fun to get acquainted intimately with the beauty of nature.... I have been photographing all that I find and at an average of one new flower a day... I am in backlog of identification.....
Thanks for the appreciation
Alok
