Paul,
Cymbalaria muralis, same thing? I would mention that this is hardy in the
far north and a neat little thing creeping around dark and damp corners.
Also, it can be grown all winter at the base of any houseplant that is too
tall and in need of something to cover the soil. I have some in some pots
and it is also blooming. In the garden, it is everblooming with tiny blue
flowers. Likes shady, damp walls, containers in the shade and any rocks in
the shade. It is called "ruin of Rome" in older books. No good in the sun.
I sense you are growing impatient with winter which has for some us this year
been a long one. What else is is new for spring 2003?
