    My Amalanchier Obilisk is coming into flower just now. Needs a bit of tying up though, as the clematis I have clambering through it make it a little leggier than desired.:

    Yes Pal, as Waco says, they are Ajugar. They look great in the right place but I agree with you that they are thugs if you don't want them. They are easy to control in the borders because they dig out easily but can be a problem in lawns. Garden centres sell some varieties for quite a high price. They are also in my lawns but I haven't bothered to dig them out as mowing seems to keep them restricted.

    Sorry to have posted a photo that got you riled up. :eek: [​IMG] [​IMG] [​IMG] [​IMG]
