Mother of thousands,
Angel's tears or Irish moss?
What do you call this little darling, we call it hemtrevnad and of all the english names of this plant I think Peace-in-the-home is the closest equivalent.
It is Easter Monday and the last day of the Easter Holiday. We have had a most wonderful Easter even wheather-wise until today, another set back in the wheather...but they say it will be over quickly and the spring will be back tomorrow.
Mosaic Monday
"The plant Soleirolia soleirolii (syn. Helxine soleirolii) of the nettle family has a number of common names, including baby's tears, angel's tears, mind-your-own-business, peace-in-the-home, pollyanna vine, mother of thousands, and the Corsican curse. It has also been called Irish moss; however, it is not a moss, nor should it be confused with Sagina subulata or Chondrus crispus, which are also known as "Irish moss". It is a delicate-looking creeping herb with juicy bright green or yellow leaves and multitudes of tiny white flowers. It grows close to the ground in mats and is sometimes used in ornamental gardens alongside ferns and other moisture-loving type of plants." wikipedia

I remember seeing this over at the nursery and now I know what it is. It seems to cover a small space in no time!
Have a great day!
Mind your own business Tyra :) Hope that you are enjoying the Easter holiday and that spring soon returns.
Mycket charmig mosaik! Dina collage är verkligen mycket originella.
Lovely mosaic and thanks for stopping by to leave a comment. That plant sure has a lot of name. Have a great day!
Anna how funny that is a really odd name...Mind-your-own-business!
Tyra I adore Baby' Tears...I use as a fillin in my house plants...seems so hardy..never dies off unless one stops watering!
A lovely mosaic indeed! Happy Easter Monday dear garden friend.
Dina bildcollage är alltid lika vackra Tyra. Du har öga för det där ;P Ha en fortsatt fin dag / kram gittan
I love how quickly that grows, it's such a nice ground cover. nice mosaic. I love that you have all the names with it.
Tyra I just love this little plant - did you know that you can get it in 3 different colours - there is the dark green, a yellower green and a greyer green. We call it "Mind your own business" over here in the UK.
"Mind your own business." What a funny name! Very interesting post.
Oh Yes, I love your mosaic too!
Best wishes..Luna
Lovely plant...love the mosaic!!!
Thank you for sharing your lovely mosaic. Happy Easter from Vancouver Island. I love your 'header' for the blog, it's very pretty. Michelle

Jätteefin mosaik du gjort!
Tänk att jag aldrig har lyckats med hemtrevnad. Jag undrar vad jag gjort för fel?

My grandma has baby's tears growing between her paving stones in the garden - they do spread quickly! I especially like the footed silver bowl you're using as a planter - lovely!

Kære Tyra,
det er alt for lang tid siden, jeg har været inde på din blog, men nu har jeg altså været på besøg og kigget mig omkring. Det er altid en fornøjelse. Håber, at alt spirer og gror oppe hos dig. Rigtig fod weekend.
Hej Tyra
In the Netherlands we call it "Slaapkamergeluk", translated into Swedish it is "Sovrumlycka".
You have a beautifull Garden en and I enjoy your blogs. I found it on the internet when I was looking for Resarö holiday house.
Have a nice weekend,
groetjes Willy
