Ground Ivy -Glechoma hederacea I think. Smells very strongly of mint. I haven't seen any of that so far this year but it is quite common. Any other ideas anyone? |

You're right- Ground Ivy, nothing to do with Ivy, but a labiate (dead-nettle) family. Good bee plant. |

Thanks very much - I knew the flower reminded me of the Bugle in my garden and now I know why
