Urtica dioica - Stinging nettle

Stinging nettles bear their flowers throughout the summer on the edges of woodland, roadsides and some river banks.

The male and female flowers occur on separate plants; both flower sexes are green with yellow stamens.

If you do get stung by nettles, rubbing the area with a dock leaf is recommended to alleviate the pain.
