Question
Good afternoon I just observed a small whit flower in my garden with deeply notched petals. The flower had four petals and a single ovary. The flower measure about 5 mm under a microscope. The image is very similar to Cerastium diffusum, sea mouse ear. I would appreciate your comments. Thank you in advance Ed Rodges
Answer
Dear califyank, good morning. The plant you have photographed looks much like Cerastium diffusum. If I were in the northeast, that is what I would label this species as. Best wishes.
