Lamb's Ear and Trails

No shortage of lamb's ear in Central New Jersey. Saw these out walking some trails at the Manasquan Reservoir.

From Wikipedia: Stachys byzantina:
_{Lamb's-ear plants are perennial herbs usually densely covered with gray or silver-white, silky-lanate hairs. They are named lamb's ears because of the leaves curved shape and white, soft, fur-like hair coating. Flowering stems are erect, often branched, and tend to be 4-angled, growing 40–80 cm tall. The leaves are thick and somewhat wrinkled, densely covered on both sides with gray-silver colored, silky-lanate hairs; the under sides are more silver-white in color than the top surfaces.}
