After all the rain, and with the sun out most of the day, the grass will be growing quickly. Several of my neighbors have already mowed the first time this spring but I had standing water in spots. Besides the water, the lawn is showing some yellow from dandelions and yellow rocket as well as blues and purples from violets. But hidden in the grass, with blue streaked white mini blossoms an eighth to a quarter of inch across, some Thyme-leaf Speedwell can be spotted if looking closely. There is a native variety but mine is the non-native species so it is considered a weed but it does have cute little flowers.

There was no way to miss the new white snow coating on my cement this morning, but it would be easy to overlook these little white flowers, especially when the flower is only an eighth to a quarter of an inch across. The Thyme-leaf Speedwell is often hidden in grass and may only catch your eye when there is a larger group white showing.
