What is this horrible thing that takes over my yard in Portland, Oregon every spring?  |

| Looks like Lamium, possibly one of these? Red Dead Nettle (Lamium purpureum) Spotted Dead Nettle (Lamium maculatum) ~ I'm an old gal who still loves playing in the dirt! ~ Playing in the dirt is my therapy ... and I'm in therapy a lot! |

| Henbit (Lamium amplexicaule) is apparently also found in Oregon: L. ammplexicaule: https://uswildflowers.com/deta... L. purpureum: https://uswildflowers.com/deta... ~ I'm an old gal who still loves playing in the dirt! ~ Playing in the dirt is my therapy ... and I'm in therapy a lot! |

I was thinking it looks like Purple Dead Nettle. I have it and Henbit in my yard and since the bees seem to like them, I let them be(e).  |

| Purple Dead Nettle. Pretty common in the Willamette Valley and in particular in my lawn and gardens. |
