Someone in a Facebook group I\'m in posted this photo and others I.D.\'d it as Purple Dead Nettle. I get this same weed in my yard also. Since they said it was edible I decided to look for it online to verify that\'s really what it is and out of the hundreds of photos NOT ONE looks like this plant (only the flowers do... not the leaves, the new leaves or the older ones). So I\'m leery of their I.D. Anyone here know for sure what it is? Thanks in advance peeps!
