Hi,

I'm trying to identify these little white flowers that are showing up in my yard. I live 60 miles west of Chicago.

Thanks,

vince

Thanks! It seems to have arrived in my yard with some topsoil that was used to fill in some construction by the village. Not an unattractive little fellow, I'll be sorry to see it go away come winter. I may try to gather some seeds and make a place for it somewhere in my flower beds.

Be careful what you wish for. These are pretty common and diligent weeds. If you try it in a garden, try it in one place and see what you think before planting it elsewhere.

They are far down on the list of weeds I'm fighting in my lawn, and the only one that has any remotely attractiveness. Since I am lazy, I might not do a very good job of propagating it.

Thanks!
