A plant with puple-pinkish flowers, which can vary in shape in accordance to habitat and the amount of competition. In locations of denser foliage it grows taller, more upright and the flowers are paler. The plant was once boiled and eaten as a pot herb. It was also used to help cure tuberculosis and skin problems. It is very common on waste land and cultivated land. Picture taken on 19th October near Odell, Bedfordshire.
