I think it's a weed, I hope so, as I've weeded quite a few in my time. Just wait someone will tell us it's a wonderful plant.
it has pink flowers i have some cant think of the name i will look it up
Some sort of moss but I don't know my mosses well
Very pretty
In the sticks near Peterborough
it is pretty, I'm going to keep it. check my latest post because i'd like to be part of my rockery
Looks like a moss to me too. Have a look at it through a hand lens if you have one, they are quite beautiful in close-up.
the flowers are just going over on this it is a good ground cover an is easy to remove if it spreads too far but i just cant remember its name
Phuopsis stylosa
but, unless I've misjudged the size, I still think that's moss in Daniel's pic

Phuopsis stylosa - it is in the gardens at the NTS property House of Dun.
I love the smell and the bees love it. Easy enough to control. Worth the effort.
