Violet to magenta

And the rest of the purples, before I go on to other topics:

Creeping Charlie, Glechoma hederacea. Aka ground-ivy, run-away-robin, etc.

Creeping Charlie loves lawns.  In many places it is considered an invasive weed, but I welcome it. While I fight the cat's-ear, because it kills everything around it, and then spreads seeds to the neighbour's yard, Creeping Charlie blends in, stays put, and provides food for assorted critters. And the flowers are interesting.

Small magenta flowers, unidentified.

Border planting.

Tres flores más, antes de pasar a otras temas:

La hiedra terrestre, Glechoma hederacea crece entre el césped. Muchas veces se considera como una hierba mala, invasiva, pero a mí me gusta. No mata a otras plantas, no se extiende a los terrenos de los vecinos, proveen alimento y albergue para muchos insectos, y las flores, muy pequeñas, son interesantes. 

No sé como se llaman las otras dos flores. Las sembró mi vecina.

Creeping Charlie

Weed or ground cover? Invasive lawn pest, or salad green? Kill it, or pot it?

Creeping Charlie, aka ground-ivy, run-away-robin, catsfoot, etc. Also Glechoma hederacea. Not an ivy; a mint.

When I Googled Creeping Charlie, the first screen of links were mostly to "How to kill" sites, but one, instead, had a wild beer recipe. In my mixed, half-wild lawn, it fills in the gaps where I've ripped out grass-poisoning hairy catsear, and holds back the stubborn buttercups; I'll let it be for now.

The plant creeps through the lawn, with occasional stems standing to 5 or 6 inches tall. It doesn't mind mowing.

The flowers grow in clusters of two or three near the tip of the plant.

Each pollinated flower can produced up to four seeds, which are dispersed by the stem bending over and depositing the ripe seeds in the ground adjacent to the parent plant, although ants may carry the seeds further. (Wikipedia)

A vast improvement over the catsear, which produces thousands (up to 6000 per rosette!) of wind-blown seeds that germinate quickly in the neighbour's lawn as well as mine.
