I walked past this tall purplish-pink flower several times without looking at it closely, thinking it was more Purple Loosetrife. On closer inspection I saw that the flowers are quite different, with a pronounced lip almost like an orchid. This woundwort grows in one spot on our lane, and I have also seen it on one of the nearby offshore islands. Woundworts get their name from the fact that they were once used as a herbal remedy to help heal wounds. They do indeed have antiseptic properties, although they have a rather unpleasant smell, more pronounced in the case of Hedge Woundwort.
