Not quite a weed it's actually Salvia officinalis, otherwise known as Sage.

Were I not photomyopic I would have first photographed Parsley, thus forcing me to complete the quadfecta.

Obligatory Emily Dickinson Poem:
---
THE BEE is not afraid of me,
I know the butterfly;
The pretty people in the woods
Receive me cordially.

The brooks laugh louder when I come,
The breezes madder play.
Wherefore, mine eyes, thy silver mists?
Wherefore, O summer’s day?

All seems a little out of focus and uninteresting in my view.
