Prunella vulgaris (Heal-all, Self-heal)

Prunella vulgaris (Heal-all, Self-heal)

I'm not sure, but this large-flowered plant may be the native American Self-heal, Prunella vulgaris Linnaeus var. lanceolata (W. Barton) Fernald, rather than the introduced lawn weed Eurasian Self-heal Prunella vulgaris Linnaeus var. vulgaris.
