In the yard… by rhoing

In the yard…

We spent most of the day in the yard today. Trimming, weeding, planting & watering, mowing, and lots of bagging! Found this jewel among the petunias. No idea what it is yet but this berry-like flower is no larger than a chocolate chip… I used a +4 close-up filter to get this close.

Edit: Pretty sure now that this is Indian strawberry. We've been ripping it out as best we can. Like mint, it’ll take over the garden if not contained.

Edit: “Potentilla indica” or “Duchesnea indica” — see http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/2018/

@kaylaferguson Thank you, Kayla! If you use the magnifier, you may be able to see a little white critter crawling around. And if this is the size of a chocolate chip, then that critter is teeny-teeny-tiny!!
