Wildflower - Bugleweed

With the warmer spring weather here, we are now into lawn mowing season. There was a light rain today and I couldn't mow the lawn, but I did watch the grass grow. I did notice some type of sprawling, flowering plant was taking over large areas of the lawn.



I've identified the flowering plant as Bugleweed (Ajuga reptans), also known as bugle, blue bugle, bugleherb, carpetweed, carpet bugleweed and common bugle. Bugleweed is native to Europe and is an invasive plant in parts of North America (and our lawn).
