Groundcover

I don't remember what this is and not sure I paid attention to it before but it looks nice growing around the ugly honey locust in my front yard.

or is it brunnera?????

I think Lamium too! Paul just posted a picture of one called White Nancy - this looks very similar

I almost thought Brunnera too but every variety I have seen has larger leaves. I did a google search and it is Lamium (thank you for the help!). I have another type of Lamium that looks nothing like the picture above, both are very attractive plants though. I wanted to take divisions off of it today but there was a colony of tiny ants with bad tempers :(

bad tempered ants are not to be tampered with!!!

they get me every year, twice this year already! I never notice them until they're on my arms and in my gloves. Their bites feel like little needles too! I'm not afraid of snakes but I always try to stay far away from the ants.

I very scared of snakes, dont like them at all.
We dont seem to have so many ants here but once a year i see them flying.

I have lots of ants and snakes here but luckily I don't see either one of them flying much :). The locust trees are full of bees right now, when I step outside all I can hear is buzzing in the tree tops. I don't mind bees but it is a very unnerving sound!

Yes I can well imagine! But I don't want to imagine flying snakes!

Does it mean, you are you able to fall asleep while one is hanging over your head? :)

I can but I don't think my sister could, she sucks them up into the vacuum! But she doesn't have one with a clear cylinder because she doesn't want them to be looking at her!
