Answer
Dear NNEL, the plant you have picked is Ajuga reptans (carpet bugle). Prunella vulgaris (self heal), which belongs to the same family of plants (mints), is not in flower yet. If you look carefully, you will see that your plant forms dense colonies by horizontal stems at the ground level (something not found in Prunella vulgaris). Best wishes.
