These seem to be multiplying. *Leaf starts out green, quite quickly
becomes variegated and I think ends up with a little white pointed
flower. *Invasive?


Houttuynia cordata 'Chameleon'
yes invasive but not too nasty;
not my cup of tea; very gaudy; likes damp or even wet conditions.


It obviously knows it's in Normandy. No, I'm not sure I'm entirely
struck on it, either.

A lot of patches of this on old walls. *Tiny little flower.


Ivy Leaved Toadflax
Linaria cymbalaria or Cymbalaria muralis
a wild plant and technically a weed but completely harmless and to be
encouraged


That's good news - thanks.
