| Possibly a Gypsophila. Or a relation. Got any with flowers? |

| Yep...I have it inundated in my backyard as well. I live just south of Austin, TX. I have searched on line for hours tonight and a few other folks have posted this weed pic on Dave's Garden forum and on another site and neither one of them got answers either. It almost looks a little like a combination of a type of doveweed and goosegrass combined. I am thinking that it is actually a cross between Bermuda grass and a weed or wild Bermuda grass...if that is even possible. I haven't seen any flowering on these weeds. They are in approx 5-10 inch clumps. Very sturdy and easy to pull up with a little water in the ground. I haven't tried many chemicals yet. I have only spot treated with Weed B Gone. I am pulling them as well. I think that my Bermuda grass is almost gone because of this terrible weed. Once I pull it all out, I will probably have to re-sead some Bermuda. |

| Probably slender aster. Wait for it to bloom in the fall. |

| Aster looks correct to me as well. |
