Wildflowers of Ainsworth: Henbit

Henbit1

Henbit2

That's a pretty little flower! It grows in the soybean field next to the purple dead nettle, and indeed I didn't notice at first that it wasn't purple dead nettle (which latter had tricked me into thinking it was common hedge nettle for a while, there).

The etymology of henbit is mysterious.
