Yellow Archangel
The Agricultural Extension Service of the University of Wisconsin describes these plants as blooming "for a few weeks" each spring. However, the plants we have here only bloom for a scant few days, and it is quite difficult to catch them blooming unless one is diligent about checking them every day. Checking them only once-per-week is a sure way to miss the lovely little flowers.

Those who have followed my Steemit blog for a while might notice the resemblance of these flowers to those of the Purple Hedgenettle (Lamium purpureum), which I posted several months ago. That's because they are in the same Lamiaceae family.

That is a very pretty and delicate looking flower... it does remind me a little of the deadnettles we had in Denmark when I was a kid, although with white flowers.
Great post! Love the yellow archangel! :-)
Lovely post.

What a beautiful flower; the petals really do look like angels! Too bad about their invasive nature though. You managed to capture it perfectly though! Thanks for sharing :)
Georgous photography. I enjoyed seeing the beautiful plants
