Lipped wild mottled leaves in Germany
« on: December 01, 2012, 05:30:09 PM »
Hello friends,

I live recently in Germany and I am discovering the local flora. I saw this beautiful plant in Darmstadt in several woods and I think it's a Labiateae. I can not find the name anywhere. Please can anyone help me?

Thank you.

They make a lovely carpet on the ground with those pretty leaves, don't they?

It is a nice weed Lamium galeobdolon - Gewöhnliche Goldnessel.

When I was a child I and my friends often pulled out the calyxes to suck the sweet nectar ;D

There's a nice form with all silver foliage except for a fine green edge, and white flowers. Can't remember its name but it was in all the garden centres some years ago. Never see it now. ::)

Lesley, think the plant you mean is Lamium maculatum ‘White Nancy’.
The second plant khalid posted should be the cultivar Lamiastrum galeobdolon 'Herman's Pride'

Apparently, Lamiastrum galeobdolon is now Lamium galeobdolon... for those who follow such things.   ::)
