Question
This plant is on a roadside. Mid spring to early summer. The flower is small less than an inch in height. Any help identifying this plant would be appreciated. Tomsaw418
Answer
Dear tsawyer418, your plant is Trichostema dichotomum (forked bluecurls), a member of the Lamiaceae (mint family). The arched and in-curled stamens are a diagnostic feature of most members of this genus (there are some exceptional species that don't show this feature). Best wishes.
