Narrowleaf Hemp-nettle


Next to French Bartsia grows a plant with really purple flowers.



There are a lot of them and they are what you call visible. Narrowleaf Hemp-nettle (Galeopsis angustifolia) is also a follower of agriculture.




It flowers after harvest between the cut cereal stalks and flowering can go on until the first frosts. If the farmer does not plough his field of course.





Seen from nearby the flower is exquisite.
