Ya, really a lot like it. But speedwell should be dead now. It's been too hot all over the country. Too bad there's no older leaves on the example (to see if they're "toothed"), or flowers (to see if they're 4-petaled and some shade of blue/violet).

Either way, I've always known speedwell to pop up in late winter, and be dead and gone by the time it gets hot out. Maybe Jersey hasn't had the heat wave until now?

We still have a form of speedwell growing here in the Buckeye and it hardens off during the dog days of summer, sorta like spotted spurge does. It's a boarder encroacher for the most part. (curbs and such)

Really! Ok, learned enough for one day. I need a nap, now. =)

Ola!

I went and looked at a picture of speedwell,

No, the small narrow leaves are not 'toothed'. They have smooth.

And no flowers.

Apparantly, there's a flavor that's hardy in the summer.

Heh. Yup, that's a sure-fire sign. =)

The smaller leaves on speedwell are smooth, but check the oldest leaves (nearest the roots).

That's quite possible, if it's being mowed all of the time. You'd have to find a specimen that was allowed to mature, perhaps behind something.
