Daisies in lawn

Awww! Don't get rid of your daisies, MM. They are lovely.

I'm interested in this 'Mouse Ear' thingy, OldandHappy. What is it? I've got a creeping blue-flowered thing in my lawn - it looked quite nice at first but now there are big patches of it and no grass. I was wondering what it was - perhaps you've identified it for me?

Hi Kay,
Mouse ear if you gooogle you will see it is a chickweed type with white flowers. In our front lawn at various times of the year we have loads of weeds and one type has blue flowers(quite pretty really!!!)that is a tad invasive but unknown name I am afraid, but not in flower yet so maybe not what you have...not much help for you right now but will work on it. regards Mrs Happy

Kay, you blue flower might be speedwell - we have it and that's what we call it - could well be wrong tho!
Never heards of the ears- thing!

Kay_Peel

Yes! It's speedwell. Thanks Nodders!

I've also got Mouse Ears, OldandHappy. On my lawn, not the side of my head. Well, I call it a lawn ...... but it's just a bit of old scrubland now that I know what those 'flowers' are. Ho hum.

I googled mouse ear to get a pic cos I think we have it but, - got pics of that gross experiment of the poor mouse with a human ear growing from it.:(

On the upside we don't seem to have mouse ear on our grass (wouldn't call it a lawn). We do have horse tail though aaaaargh.
