  • Question

    I'm having trouble identifying this low-growing plant / weed that I've recently found in my yard. Would love any assistance! I'm in central Connecticut.

    Answer

    Dear mdeuloco, good afternoon. You have photographed a species of Veronica (speedwell) in the Plantaginaceae. It looks most like Veronica serpyllifolia subsp. serpyllifolia, a common non-native species of lawns, clearings, fields, and similar habitats. Best wishes.
