    I found this growing in a shady forest in the Vancouver area. It's a kind of vine type plant that grows low to the ground and spreads out.
    I would like to know what it is please.

    Ok I think I found it.
    I believe it is Yellow Archangel (Lamiastrum galeobdolon).

    I think they look nice as a ground cover in the forest.

    They look nice if you like monoculture, but they destroy all of the low-growing native plants that happen to get in their way.

    Yes, this is a terrible invasive that will spread very quickly, crowding out other plants. If this is your property, you will be sorry if you don't remove it.

    Lamiastrum galeobdolon 'Argentatum', to be exact. The wild type of the species doesn't have the white patches.
