Veronica catenata Pink Water-Speedwell C DD N
The pink flowers of this plant are similar to Veronica scutellata (Marsh Speedwell) and I confused these two at first. This plant though has narrow sessile leaves but they aren't as narrow or small as V. scutellata. Also the flower head is usually more compact and conical in V. catenata
