Wildflowers of Ainsworth: Purple-leaved Willow Herb

Once again: incredibly tiny flowers. Also: those leaves don't look purple to me.

The most interesting thing I could find about this flower is that allegedly it grows pods that split open in the fall to reveal a "mass of cinnamon coloured fluff." I'll have to wait around to see if that happens.
