Richardia scabra, commonly called rough Mexican clover or Florida pusley

The flowers are so pretty - a very pale pink tinge. Funny, this is the first year I've really noticed them; they're everywhere.

I think I usually see that in the turf at a Fort Myers condo which is my home when I'm visiting. Pretty sure that's it. Coming from Wisconsin, where Kentucky bluegrass/fine fescue lawns are par excellance, I'm never too impressed with the Florida turf I see. But I do like the weeds in that turf!

pretty s it is I've spent many a day yanking that junk out!!! It will take over.

I first noticed that stuff (or something like it) growing around here about 3 years ago. A first it was just in a couple places next to roads and on grassy median strips, looked pretty nice and just figured that the city threw something down to try to make those places look nice. Next year saw it next to more and more roads. Then mixed with the grass in a few yards. Now I see it all over the place, next to roads, plant beds in parking lots, LOTS of yards with it in the grass. Even the two house right across the street from me have patches in their front yards. Pretty sure it will be in mine next year.

I'm right there with you, halfwaythere! This foreclosure across the street from us is giving all the neighbors fits. We are combating the weeds creeping out of that yard.

my backyard is nice but my front yards need work and has this flower in the fall the backyard is good

Hi

Easy to see ,in my neighborhood who is watering and feeding their lawns lol

It has taken over the west side of my lot.If you water it regularly it will go into a sharp decline , Seems to need very dry poor soil to thrive Plenty of that in florida ??lol Actually it seems far more attractive than a dead and neglegted lawn?? lol Thanks for the name Seems to be really spreading over the last several years gary
