an unknown wildflower


While I was playing with the five sheep visitors on Monday, I found a new wildflower growing along the base of one of the many fence lines. At first glance, this low growing plant reminded me of portulaca, but the flowers are simple and flat rather than a complex “rose like” form and the leaves grow in a star shape close to each blossom. Among the stems and leaves trailing on the ground were tiny white “stars” — not sure if they were the same plant or not, as all had the same type of leaves.
