May 21, 2011 Southeastern, New Hampshire Very distinctive pair of purple flowers. I saw it last year, but after it was done flowering, I could not recognize it. Notice that the leaves congregate near the top as if they are whorled, but in the pictures (2nd row) you can see that they actually alternate near the top of the stem. The leaves have no teeth (entire) and have a very slight red tinge near the outer edge.
