The purple flower is more pronounced when it is young but I hope you can still get enough of a picture even though the plant is almost finished. Thank you

This is called purple deadnettle (Lamium purpureum). It is an annual winter weed that will die naturally as the weather warms up. They are relatively easy to pull or dig out by hand.
