Chamomile?

I don't think so unless there's a teeny version of Chamomile. This grew no higher than clover. My grandfather used to have it in his lawn and I thought, for a while there, you could buy seeds for it for your lawn, but I haven't see it growing or seen packages of seeds for years and years and years.
Common Yellow Wood-Sorrel. It's a variety of oxalis. Sometimes incorrectly called "sour clover". HTH :-)

Sounds like what I'm used to here in California except ours has a pink flower. I've always called it "sour grass". Nobody talks about it. Nobody plants it. It just comes up. It's about 3" - 4" high, stems grow longer but they flop over and has "clover-like" leaves.

Yep, there's a pink version and a lavender version, too. Not here, though. We only get the yellow one.
I have a checkerboard herb garden this year and I put our version in one of the openings. I like it when people go, "BUT THAT'S A WEED!" :)
There are two chamomile, the Roman and, the German. The German lies flatter than the Roman and, is the choice for tisanes. Just trying to keep us all on the same page.

I don't know where it comes from and I don't notice it spreading all over the place. It's like a surprise. It sits there looking like a nuisance and the it blooms.

Nope, I know what both of those look like. In fact, at the herbal gardens the German Chamomile has been blooming for a few weeks now and I love it but it's not the plant I remember in the lawn. The daisies in the lawn were wonderful little things but they were LITTLE, low-growing beauties. Darn. I wish I knew what they were.

More nutritious than spinach, IIRC.
BTW, I just made some dandelion/red clover jelly. It was GOOOOOOOD. :)
thinking there is a type of aster that many people consider weeds in the lawn

Ever come in contact with Malabar Spinach? A tasty vine.

Helloooooo! Who you be expecting, Eyore?
Could it also be Shepherd's Purse? We nibble on it and it sounds also like what Michael is describing.
Just being curious, because we have the shepherds purse everywhere.

Nope. That's different.
Sheperd's purse is easily recognized by its distinctive heart-shaped seed pods -- something that Wood Sorrel doesn't have. I've never heard of eating it but, hey, I'm new to this herbal stuff, too.
Bull Shit!

Well said.
What are we talking about, Ron? Quoting helps follow a thread.
"Michael \"Dog3\" Lonergan" expounded:

The second link looks like it. The description says rose colored blooms but mine blooms yellow. Apparently there are different varieties that bloom different colors. From reading the thread I'm 99.9% that is what it is.

Nope, never heard of it.
I have to be honest, my tolerance of green things is very limited. My personal motto is, "If it's green it's trouble; if it's fried, get double."

Dang - where are our British friends? I saw something like that at Kew and The Cambridge Botanical Garden. Ferny leaves? Right? C
