Still mystified (not any more!)
The little plant that I transplanted two years ago from my uncle's home in San Marcos ("A chapter closes") still survives. But I still haven't figured out what it is. I had guessed something in the mint family. But I'm still not sure. It was growing in the front yard like a weed. Any ideas?
UPDATE JUNE 29, 2015 Melody and Melissa advised that my mystery plant looks like Gregg's tubetongue (Justicia pilosella). I tend to agree. Check out this photo of the flower and compare it to my photo above. Awesome! I believe this mystery is SOLVED! Thanks, y'all!!

Check out Gregg's Tube-tongue (Justicia pilosella) and see if that is your little plant. I found some like it at our city hall last fall when I was setting up for Villagefest and took photos of it. I keep meaning to go back and dig some up to transplant on our property. Don't you just love finding little treasures like that?
I think you may be right! If it blooms again, I'll get more pics. Thank you!
It looks like snake weed to me.
I agree that it looks like Tube-tongue. I've seen it often in Zilker Preserve in Austin. Very hardy, nice little plant!
I am so happy happy happy to know the name of my little plant! Thank y'all!
