Great Hedge-nettle

Great Hedge-nettle
Standing up to five feet tall, this impressive wildflower certainly deserves the name "great." Its botanical name is Stachys chamisonis var. cooleyae. This was growing along the Hurricane Ridge Road in Olympic National Park.

I didn't know of this variety of Nettle.... What a beauty! At 5' tall, I'm sure it stands out nicely, too. Great find & shot =)

elegant wild, elegant portrait !
I was involved in some new floral groups, one of this is about the Lamiaceae family, so I invite this flower, if you like it ;-)
