    Found this growing wild in my pasture. I think it's mint but the leaves aren't close to the stem which throws me off. Sorry the plant is a bit droopy. It started to wilt fairly fast after picking.

    Stem - square, hollow, fuzzy
    Leaves - opposite, smaller at the top, larger going down, fuzzy top and bottom, slightly iridescent (like mint leaves due to oils)
    Aromatic - cats were immediately interested when it was brought inside
    The close up leaf is about 3" long.

    Might be Lamium purpureum.
