Weeds Lawn Care

What weed is this?

3 years ago

Can anyone help me with identifying this weed? They are popping up all over my thin Bermuda grass lawn (which I'm working on). It's a spring/summer weed in the state of southeast TN. It kind of looks like Bristly Mallow, Creeping Charlie, Wild Violet, or Lesser Celandine but doesn't exactly match any of them so I'm not sure what is is.

THey are violets. There are some other things in there, but I can't see them very clearly; nothing big or BAD, though. You're going to have to dig them up or develop a grand passion for violets.

Ok, one more for you. What about this one? It appears to have a small 4 petal light purple flower. Thanks.

OMG. Yes. I wondered about that, but they looked so much like grass. Crazy. How do you control them? They're popping up like mad in our parkway where the palms are. Thanks!

Hmmmm. If you attached a picture, it's not coming through. When you write back please help us to help you by providing more info. The best garden pictures are taken on a cloudy or overcast day or in the shade. Where do you live? What kind of grass do you have?

That seems to be it, according to https://plants.usda.gov/core/profile?symbol=VIAE And listed as a noxious weed for my state as well. Thank you!

Of course it is!! Not sure where the Dalmatian came from except both species are commonplace and noxious weeds here. And they are both yellow 😁

Some sort of field buttercup, Ranunculus species. Most are weeds.
