Which plant is this??

I know there are hundreds of species of that plant, and it apparently it has a "funny" name, according to my friend.
It's not a flower, it's a plant.

If it has normal, green leaves, opposite or whorled, a mostly square stalk and a zygomorphic pentameric flower, it could be a Lamiacea like Ajuga. But this family has 210 genera with 3500 species :
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lamiaceae, so that it`s too hard to find out with only one pic.
If it doesn`t have normal, green leaves ( seems so at the photo ) but scaly ones, it could be the parasitic Orobanche.
The different species are not easy to identify, especially without close-ups, but here a site with some species:

and another one:

It could be a variety of pupurea or cernua.

Hello
A similar question came up a few days ago. This looks very much like Comfrey (Symphytum Originalis). I know this is a long link but it should show an identical plant. They flower in England, early spring and spread quite dramatically and not really a great garden plant to have.

Possibly a species of Ajuga or Bugleweed, but I can't find the exact one. Try searching under both names.
