unknown groundcover
« on: August 31, 2011, 07:15:48 AM »
Hello dear experts!
The pictures below come from french friends who visited a garden in  Arc-et-Senans, in Eastern France, near Besançon. We haven't been able to identify it so far. It seemed to be some groundcover, about 20 cm in height, the leaves have quite a heavy substance, and the flowers appeared to be creamy white...Any suggestion would be welcome!

Thank you so much, Orion Peri !  :)
In the meantime, someone else had done the same suggestion, so your confirmation is very welcome!
Now it will be easier to find it, and take care of. Thanks again!
