Flower and smell of this invasive plant is like mint but the leaves are different- can anyone suggest the plant name?

    What part of the world is this growing in? – kevinskio Dec 05 '18 at 11:05

    Pretty sure its not dead nettle - there are at least three different weeds/plants growing in the image - I'd like to see a clear, in focus photo of the one with dark purple flowers that you're holding. Regardless, none of the plants in the photo is a Mint. – Bamboo Dec 05 '18 at 12:24
  • I also think that there are some confusion on plants. Could you take one and put it on a paper, and then do a photo? So all plant will be in focus, and we will see much more. I think one weed is Glecome hederaces (you see the flower on the bottom). But the large plant, why not a Chenopodium?. To many weeds, so I think we are also much confused. And BTW you should tell us which region/continent. – Giacomo Catenazzi Dec 05 '18 at 14:46
  • @GiacomoCatenazzi The Chenopodium has green nubs for flowers... – stormy Dec 05 '18 at 22:24
  • Would it not be lovely if our 'clients' filled out a simple questionnaire before they formulated their question? Just saying once again, stuff like zone, microenvironment, type of soil...whatever they are able to answer not only makes our job easier and less back and forth with the questions but the questionnaire would make the OPs aware thus being able to ask better questions. – stormy Dec 05 '18 at 22:45

You are holding Dead Nettle I think, if it smells a bit like mint, purple flowers? Lamiaceae. The other prolific weed is Chickweed...

Lamium maculatum
