Looks to be trailing. First time seen in my lawns, and going berserk. Thanks.

Chickweed

can you get a close up of the leaves, there is a lot going on in that pic, lots of clover, but flower not right for that and it is not chickweed. However a good turf spray should sort it anyway.

kaddiew, Oct 14, 11:10pm
I don't think it's chickweed either. Will try for a close up.

kaddiew, Oct 14, 11:14pm
Close up of leaves. It's definitely not clover and doesn't look like the chickweed. It's somewhat trailing. Just coming into flower, a tiny white flower with 5 petals. Thanks.

I will try to find out, we have a good book at work.

It’s a common weed. Commonly known as ‘a weed’. Don’t know the name off hand

spiritofgonzo, Oct 15, 2:50am
Just checked, it’s chickweed. There’s two, cerastium glomeratum or Stellaria media, this looks just like cerastium chickweed

Well done you, we all learn something each day. How did you find that cos I googled and googled, but sadly don't google well. Well done also to wenpen for their ID, this was not an easy one.

looked at second pic yes chick weed

harrislucinda, Oct 15, 3:37am
google chickweed and see it is love s cool damp so will die off in the heat

kaddiew, Oct 15, 4:01am
Well done, folks!1 And apologies, wenpen. : ) It just didn't resemble the chickweed I remembered from decades back.

It's certainly been a wet and boggy few months, so glad to know it'll die off naturally.

Thanks again!
