Dead nettle of some type?

[Wild-Woman]

Had a good look for this one. The flower is really tiny and you could do with a hand lens to see it properly in the field. Still none the wiser but the nearest I've come is some sort of dead nettle. Over to the experts...

You've got me. Lesser Skullcap? Worth a guess.

[Tiggrx]

This is Lesser Skullcap (Scutellaria minor)

WAHOO
Never seen it, nice find.

[Wild-Woman]

Great. Thank you. I'll look it up now. It was so tiny and insignificant that it was only dropping my lens cap that made me see it. Wish I'd got a better shot but it started raining. Julie

Nice find there Julie. What sort of area does this species grow in?
cheers

Usually on damp ground on base-poor soils. Also usually under or around trees, on grass rides, I dont often see it in the open.

Well done julie ! a new one for me

This specimen as on the pathwalk through the woods at Bewl water in Kent.Sheltered and damp also protected somewhat by bigger, more robust plants around it. It's also where the invasive NZ weed was that Tiggrx noticed in my fungus picture I started a thread on. Julie

Quite common on the damper rides of Hatfield Forest where it grows with Corn Mint.
