wildflower groundcover


I have the greatest ground cover for my needs but I can't find
anyone who can identify it.  One person said they called it "mouse ears" 
although I can't imagine why.  Another nursery person said it was
scarlet pimpernel but I compared it to the picture in my wildflower
book and the leaves are not at all the same.  It is a creeper that
becomes very thick and invasive - bright green fan shaped leaves with 
small light orange flowers.  By controlling it, I find it a grand 
substitute for grass and by wielding the weed eater just over the top of 
it, I can keep it in control - plus yanking it out of places I don't want
it.  It takes very little water.  Oh yes, it will climb up walls, over, 
under anything.  Can anyone help me identify this?
