RE: Problem Gardener/dandelions

Tell me a little more about Creeping Charlie.  I've never heard of him.  As
I mentioned earlier, I'm fairly new to perennials so I don't know a lot of
their names, yet.  But I think with the proper introduction, he and I could
get along pretty well.

I have a wild vine growing in my Rose/bulb garden right now that has blue
flowers that are quite similar in shape to an Althea's.  It seems to grow up
the stems of the roses quite vigorously, but have no idea what it is.  I
think it looks too nice to pull up.  Any one have a clue as to what it could
be?

BTW, finally made it in last night around ninish.  My wife's first words
were "Are you finally coming in to stay?"  One of these days she's going to
come around.  I swear by it.
