It's...It's also known as ajuga or goutweed. It's low rhizome-spreading plant with light green leaves edged in white. The flowers are similar to Queen Anne's Lace. <br /><br />http://lostsurprise.blogspot.com/search?q=bishops+weed<br /><br />Here's a link to my big grading and plant yanking project last year. I think there's some pictures in there. You can see them all over my iris.<br /><br />I don't hate it, actually. It makes a nice groundcover, especially under trees. It's like mint, oregano, and lily of the valley though. It takes over. It takes more weeding time then anything else in my yard.Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06111603742877378974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5172018271137170502.post-91437497723192648442009-06-05T09:18:27.781-05:002009-06-05T09:18:27.781-05:00Except we don't have rabbits, horses, deer, sh...Except we don't have rabbits, horses, deer, sheep, etc (or the shell of a destroyed church).

But I'm sure if it likes to take over everything we might have it. =) Virginia Bluebell...I'll have to ask our plant expert to confirm. =)<br /><br />Hey Anna, how embarrassing. Of course that's not clover! I know what clover looks like. It's a pretty tiny flower, but maybe it is oxalis. I'll have to get more opinions.

I'm pretty sure it's an oxalis (wood sorrel).<br /><br />great photos Aimee =)Anna Dunfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12362143051124854821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5172018271137170502.post-60360787543417036712009-06-04T12:06:11.944-05:002009-06-04T12:06:11.944-05:00Wow!

...Wow! Did I mention you have a really great yard? <br /><br />That could be Virginia bluebell. <br /><br />Lily of the valley are dear to me but they are so incorrigible. I yanked and yanked bishop's weed and LotV last year when I was fixing the grade and making new beds. Then I piled cardboard and compost over them and they're still coming back this year! <br /><br />It's a good thing they smell so nice. I might take it personally. ;)Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06111603742877378974noreply@blogger.com
