#1: Pls. Identify This Wild Ground Cover

Zone 6-7 Mid-Atlantic. It shows up during years of adequate moisture,
choking out undesirables like plantain. Small heart-shaped leaves.
Little yellow flowers. It's the coolest stuff because it doesn't grow
tall and therefore requires less mowing. Thanks.

Any chance you can post a clear closeup photo, on a site like

Look up "moneywort" and adjust your meager descriptopn from there if it
is off the mark.

Looks just like oxalis stricta (above) but is not erect or upright.

It may be oxalis europaea or o. repens ... or maybe o. stricta as you
suggest.

Thank you.
