I was sorting through some old photos and came across this one, taken on our local Common in spring I think.

Definitely …. one of my favourite spring wildflowers and loved by early bumbles. The floor of the small wood I played in as a child was carpeted with it.

In those pics you can see the stem of glechoma is square in cross section … it’s one of the lamiaceae family along with mint and deadnettles 😊
