What is it?

Found this in the garden while removing some weeds. I thought it was interesting. SWMBO thought it might be carnivorous. The flower is about 1/4" from top to bottom.

I don't touch any purple flowers in Arizona. There is a good chance it might be scorpion weed. Not Good!

Lamiaceae - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Its a type of mint. Not sure what species you would have in AZ. Here in the East the most common ones are Lamium purpureum - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
and Lamium amplexicaule - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Common names are dead nettle or hen bit. Flowers are not carnivorous, its not poisonous. Just a common weed.

Thanks, Andy. I learned something.

Apparently not all mint leaves are aromatic. These certainly are not.
