newtonsthirdlaw, I wonder if what you have growing is Dakota Prairie Verbena, Glandularia bipinnatifida. The flowers look similar to those of the Moss Verbena (Vervain) except the flowers don't have a white eye. The leaves are larger and courser looking. http://www.bio.utexas.edu/courses/bio406d/images/pics/vrb/gl...
Even though they are drought tolerant, they've loved our wet winter and have appeared in larger numbers this year, even in places I hadn't seen them before.
