Can anyone ID these flowers/weeds for me please?? :)

Hi all

I have a large area on my drive covered with these but have no idea what they are?? If they are flowers I want to try and transplant them into a different area, or dump them if they are weeds??

Thanks in advance, JJ

If you like it, why would you dump it ? :^O

Looks like Prunella, also known as Self-Heal.  It's a wild flower.  If you like it, keep it - wild flowers are only weeds if you don't like them!

They will grow almost anywhere so it's ok to transplant them.

Or pot them up and sell them - my local garden centre wants £1.25 for a small pot....

Glad someone knows, they look good whatever they are.

Wonder if it would be happy under our Rowan tree, it's very shady there though.

A weed is only a plant growing in the wrong place, a rose is a 'weed' in the middle of your veggie patch. 😄

we have this in the lawn, it just takes over in July and August, it's pretty but the lawn is ruined!!

I've given up on having a nice lawn, we have clover buttercup and self heal, plus a wild miniature orchid not much room left for the grass

I have it in the lawn as well - lovely flower.

Its useful to rub on insect bites and scrapes and scratches, and I dry some every year to make a gargle for sore throats (5 or 6 flowers steeped in hot water and gargle when cool)
