Tiny (!) blue flower in lawn, ID?

[Ron Hardin]

There's a really tiny blue flowered thing in the lawn pic

leaves, little hairs on the stem and leaves, slightly toothed leaves.

Four petals.

Much smaller than a chickweed, which itself is pretty small.

Newcomb's Wildflower book doesn't seem to have it, or anyway not where I'm looking.

On which continent?

Central Ohio

Creeping Charlie, no?

[Ron Hardin]

The images of cc on the net seem to suggest it's a lot bigger in size. This baby is really tiny. You can barely count the petals unless you're nearsighted and so have a built-in microscope.

Also it has little hairs all over and cc appears not to.

Looks like some type of speedwell (Veronica), maybe corn speedwell (V. arvensis)

[Ron Hardin]

Thanks, that looks right.

Could it be "Forget Me Nots"? Are there clusters of little flowers?

[philosopher]

Creeping charlie flowers are extremely tiny, and the leaves are hairy, toothed and opposite. I am pretty sure your snappy is of creeping charlie.

Some pe>>

I said creeping charlie above, but the photos I've now seen of V. arvensis make me lean toward that instead of cc.

More photos of your plant, please, >>
