Just another start. By the way when this plant is pulled it has a very strange smell something kinda like Pledge furniture polish.

It grows every where now and it gets little white flowers on it.

Looks like a ground cover I have in my one flower bed. All I can think of is the word Cameleon ground cover. The roses are beautiful coming through it.

Sandra R is correct-Cameleon-pretty and smells good but very invasive.

It is Houttuynia cordata 'Chameleon.' Plant with care or you will have it everywhere.
