    Pretty sure its not dead nettle - there are at least three different weeds/plants growing in the image - I'd like to see a clear, in focus photo of the one with dark purple flowers that you're holding. Regardless, none of the plants in the photo is a Mint.

  • I also think that there are some confusion on plants. Could you take one and put it on a paper, and then do a photo? So all plant will be in focus, and we will see much more. I think one weed is Glecome hederaces (you see the flower on the bottom). But the large plant, why not a Chenopodium?. To many weeds, so I think we are also much confused. And BTW you should tell us which region/continent. Dec 5, 2018 at 14:46
  • @GiacomoCatenazzi The Chenopodium has green nubs for flowers...

You are holding Dead Nettle I think, if it smells a bit like mint, purple flowers? Lamiaceae. The other prolific weed is Chickweed...

Lamium maculatum

    I do not think it is the correct identification. Dec 5, 2018 at 14:41
  • @GiacomoCatenazzi I am never attached to my IDs. Please, help to find the correct ID! What do you think?

  • @stormy - hard to say what it is with the current, out of focus picture...
