What plant is this
 

It is a ground cover, has leaves like Ivy, in the Spring it has
purple trumpet shaped flowers.
I have some growing under a Pine tree but have bare spots and
would like to fill in those bare spots with more of this ground cover.
I just don't know what it is.

Sounds impressive. Where can I get some of that?

If you are actually alluding to Vinca minor, your description is way off.

"Creeping Myrtle" is Vinca, which has neither trumpet-shaped flowers
nor ivy-like leaves. It *does* have flowers and leaves, however.

One of the Epimediums, perhaps?

Since when do Epimediums have purple trumpet shaped flowers?

Epimediums are certainly available in "purple":

http://www.plantdelights.com/Catalog...ail/03518.html

....and while not literally trumpet-shaped, the flowers might give that
impression if not examined closely. Considering the vagueness of the
description, I suppose my guess is as good as yours... had you ventured one.

What exactly does the word "trumpet" mean on your planet?

In botanical parlance, it refers to the flower or leaf being a very elongate
funnel shape. (That kind of begs the question "what does a funnel look
like", doesn't it?)

(Which plants have trumpet-shaped leaves, you may ask. Some species and
hybrids of Sarracenia, of course.)

Forget the color. Those Epimedium flowers superficially resemble those of a
columbine and they are not at all "trumpet-shaped" in any sense of the word.
