Also known as dead nettles - a very un-glamorous name for a very pretty plant with nice variegated leaves. Lamium species are widely cultivated as groundcover, and numerous cultivars have been selected for garden use. They are frost hardy and grow well in most soils. Flower color determines planting season and light requirement: white- and purple-colored flowered species are planted in spring and prefer full sun. The yellow-flowered ones are planted in autumn and prefer shade.

Kathy, I agee with your narrative. The one who gave the Lamium the nickname 'dead nettles', probably wasn't in the possession of 'green thumbs', 😜 !
Your fine image shows perfectly that a (nick)name often don't tell us anything about its beauty.

I got a feeling they are difficult to get rid of for those who don't see their beauty Kathy.
This is really a perfect photo of them. The contrasts are supreme.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.

Long before the white man and long before the wheel, when the dark green forests were too silent to be real. Lightfoot 1967
