If you let it go to seed it will be all over your garden.

You need a better pic than that, but I'd guess it's a skullcap or a hedgenettle. Both can be native (you haven't posted your location) and a bit too enthusiastic for some. I like them.

i wish you had lettered or numbered these. im tired of openning the same one over and over ... ken

I had to look up 'Patterson's Curse :-)) Darn common names!! It's definitely an echium but hard to differentiate between the two likely suspects mentioned. Both seem to be heavily present and equally aggressive in that region. I am personally only familiar with E. vulgare. And those photos sure look similar. It is a great plant for pollinators but far too rampant in its growth. It is a listed noxious weed in my area.
