Please Help Me Identify ...................................

I've been trying to i.d. this plant ,

but haven't been able to find out what it is.

The blooms are light lavender in color ,


It grows from a rosette of ovate leaves close to the ground.


It has many branches as it grows and leaves are toothed at the top ,

the main stem is hairy.
Can you help me identify it ?

    Those are weird looking
    blossoms. I don't know
    what it is. What type of
    scent does it have?

    I looked up purple weeds
    but it didn't come up. Nor
    under herbs.

    I wonder if Tansy would
    know.

    God Bless You and Yours!!!

    Is that two separate blossoms
    together? Or is it one that
    separtates in the middle? I
    thought it look like one that
    separates and it looked a bit
    funny.

    Hi Flassie ~ I think it's one bloom that's kinda separated , you can click on the photo to enlarge , maybe you can see it a little better. I had a very hard time getting a descent photo ,everytime I would take a photo , the blooms looked blurry.
