An interesting ‘weed’. To be sure some have an aversion to this plant in their lawns. My Scottish uncle used to call it ‘grave yard vetch’. This common low growing flowering plant has several names the most common of which is Creeping Charley. It will grow in places where little else does, has nice leaves and very small blue flowers. It grows to a maximum height of perhaps six inches - and even has a nice small when cut back with the lawnmower or other trimmer. Of all the so-called weeds, it’s probably one of the nicest.

a weed is a flower in the wrong place, that's all.
this one will provide some sustenance for some creature or other. or maybe just enrich the soil it grows in.
Lovely blog, Rusty and it is great for me in Australia to see what wildlife you have there, in your back yard. I must take some similar photos of bandicoots and quolls. Good luck with the horse radish!!
It's minty-smelling when I rip it out of my flowerbeds. Not all bad, but it can get out of control.
