While sitting in a doctor's waiting room in the UK I noticed in a back issue
of some gardening magazine or other an Asarum with glossy green leaves with
silver veining. I didn't take note of the species, but it looked very
interesting. I was going to have a look at it when I went back later in the
week but unfortunately I have to fly back to Canada, so that's out. Still
you might look at the more avant garde plant catalogues both in the UK and
North America for this plant. I think it would make an excellent ground
cover in the right circumstances.
