New Flower - Sit Spot #890 - July 5, 2021

According to two apps on my iPhone, 

this is a flower species that I have never seen before. 

Fleur-Ange found it yesterday in a nearby ditch. 

I want to go tomorrow with my good camera 

and a couple of wild flower field guides 

to double check the ID. 

Right now we are calling it 

Marsh Hedge-nettle or 

épiaire des marais 

(Stachys palustris).
