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!

I have seen the flying snake! Isn't it that one that jumps off high branches and sort of glides down?

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!
