Default Ground cover for a paver walkway?

In addition to the various low-napped thymes others have mentioned, I'd also
suggest being patient, weeding, and seeing which mosses take up residence. I
used a crushed granite stone dust as filler for my slate walkway, and after
a few months various gorgeous mosses started creeping in, one in particular
is called Bryum argentum, aka Kyoto Moss. I also planted Corsican Mint in a
few places, and the combination is wonderful.

Hi folks -- I just put down some paving stones in my garden yesterday to
make a pathway for ease of weeding, etc. I'd like to plant some very
low-growing ground cover as a fill in between the stones to give it that

old
English garden path feel. I live in the Washington DC area, zone 7; the
area in which I placed the stones gets full sun for a big part of the day
from late summer to early fall, and very little full sun in spring and

fall.
Something with small flowers would be nice... any ideas for me? Thanks in
advance!
