Help me identify this plant - itโs the only green spot in my front lawn ๐ the flowers are so tiny and pretty! #plant-id

I think this is called SCARLET PIMPERNEL Kerry ๐๐

@flof1952 thank you ๐ caught my eye and itโs just lovely. Some weeds are really so pretty!! At least itโs bringing some much needed green to the lawn ๐ thanks again โบ๏ธ

You're welcome Kerry. There are definitely some very pretty weeds about โบ๐

@flof1952 at least theyโre surviving in this heat ๐ may be all we can grow soon!

Oh cripes I hope not Kerry .....let's pray for some rain ๐๐

@flof1952 whatโs rain? I think I have a vague recollection of it but been so long I canโt be sure ๐ค ๐๐๐

Itโs one of my allowed wild flowers in the garden. Lovely. (Posted a pic yesterday)

@valjones-hughes thatโs where Iโd seen it!!! Thank you ๐ Iโve never noticed them in the grass before but maybe because itโs all died off it is more obvious ๐ think Iโm with you, this one can stay ๐๐ผ
I adore these little weeds. Would they survive if I potted some up? ๐ค #scarlet-pimpernel #anagallis-arvensis
I found some in my garden last week. They are very sweet but highly invasive apparently ๐ค๐งก
They might do Kerry, I see them on the edges of fields in the cracks
@pelly Iโve noticed they have already multiplied ๐ at least in a pot theyโll stay put, hopefully ๐ค๐ป
@vegandmore Iโm going to try save some. Rarely see them here but theyโve taken up residence under my Judas tree ๐
We seek him here, we seek him there! Oh, there he is ......... in your garden! ๐
@jeatacake ๐คฃ๐๐คฃ heโs spreading himself about a bit too!
