I learned that you should always learn about your plants using their scientific names so you dont confuse two different plants. There could be 15 Creeping Charlies around the world but there's only ONE Glechoma hederaceae. :D Great. Now all i have to do is learn how to say that out loud. he he he And spell it from memory. Now see? I was perfectly content to just call him Creepin Charlie because i had the name linked to Bloodbath in Paradise by Ozzy. Something about nobody being left when Charlie creeps behind. (Charlie Manson, that is. That short little dude still freaks me out and he's got to be 102 yrs old!!
But anyhoo, i digress. There are several aliases for my Charlie that be Creeping!! Ground Ivy~ Gill-Over-The-Ground~Aleshoof~Cat's Hoof~Gillrun~Hay Maids~Hedgemaids~Lizzy-run-up-the-hedge.
Lol. Makes me want to run out and plant a hedge to let my Charlie creep up!
