Question
New Haven, CT, July 12, 2020 Working with daughter in her yard here; we found this but can only find Sherardia arvensis for closest ID. Wrong, right? Thank you!
Answer
Dear meeyauw@gmail.com, good morning. I'm not confident the images of the leaves and flowers are the same plant. The leafy colony reminds me of Oreganum vulgare (oregano). The small white flower is a member of the Lamiaceae (mint family), note that it is bilaterally symmetrical with an upper and lower lip (Sherardia arvensis is radially symmetrical). Best wishes.
