Gill-over-the-ground


This plant, which may be familiar to you, goes by many names: gill-over-the-ground, ground ivy, catsfoot, creeping charlie, etc.  It has very recognizable round, neatly scalloped leaves, and tubular lavender flowers.  Like many other members of the mint family, it spreads like a weed.

Growing near some creeping buttercups, on the western margin of the Lake, Central Park.
