Lamium purpureum, commonly known as the red dead-nettle, among other names, is an annual herbaceous flowering plant. Native to Eurasia, it can also be found in North America, and frequently occurs in meadows, forest edges, roadsides and gardens. It grows with square stems to a height of 5 to 20 centimetres (2 to 8 inches), and occasionally up to 40 centimetres (16 inches). The leaves have fine hairs, are green at the bottom and shade to purplish at the top, while the zygomorphic flowers are bright reddish purple. The pollen is crimson red in colour and thus very noticeable on the heads of the bees that visit its flowers. The plant contains various oils and is characterized by its high contents of germacrene D. Young plants have edible tops and leaves, which are used in salads and stir fries as a spring vegetable. The plant has also been used for many years in folk medicine and herbal remedies. This L. purpureum inflorescence was photographed in Tutermaa, Estonia. The picture was focus-stacked from 101 separate images.Photograph credit: Ivar Leidus

Amusement: Don't these two resemble each other? Sculpture of Ramesess II (the Great) and pornstar Jenny Hendrix (aka Hot Haley)? She resembles him more in some pictures than in others.

Somehow the mummy identified as Ramesess II doesn't resemble the sculpture, does he? True there is an age difference between the sculpture and the mummy, but still. One of the fine skills of the human brain is recognizing other people from their faces.
