It *kinda* reminds me of some wild Purple Dead Nettle I have growing all around... But, I am not so sure?

Oh, I don't know that gadget. You might have an easier time emailing the pics to your PC, if that's an option for you. You've done it though. GW upload facility can do 1 pic per post, so if you have more than one, it's not your fault or your gadget that you couldn't get 2 at the same time. When I need to put 2 pics, I just post twice. If you get in the habit of putting multiple pics in posts, you can use a 3rd party photo-hosting site to do that.

I think you may just have got it. If not, a very, very close relative. I will be back there in a couple of weeks, or so, to check things out. I'll post what it looks like then. Thank you.

It looks like ajuga retans, an invasive non-native.

Yes, the photo shows Ajuga, which is pretty common in gardens, has been in gardens a long time, and persists in the wild for a long time. So even if you didn't plant it, it may be left over from some previous gardener or spread from a nearby garden. Not a native plant.
