Skullcap is also known as Helmet Flower and Hyssop Skullcap. It is a member of the mint family. Note the square stem and opposing leaves, characteristic of the mints. I would say that Skullcap is quite uncommon in Southern Alabama. These plants were photographed near Todd Acres Road, in South Mobile County, in mid May.

Lamiaceae - Mint family
