This tiny flower is in our lawn and I’d like to know what it is. Plant ID app says slender speedwell, but that has 4 round petals instead of these 5 pointy ones.

Thanks

Just saw your post on the other plant ID post so thought I'd take a look. Is it possibly this! shireplants.co.uk/pratia-pedunculata/

Oh thank you. You could be right. The ones we have are tiny and part of the grass 🤷🏻‍♀️

You're right about the speedwell - all the speedwells have 4 petals. Shows once again that plant apps should only ever be taken as a starting point, not as the definitive answer.

That's not any of the small white wild flowers that I would expect to turn up in a lawn, so Pratia is a good suggestion. But you will need to check that the leaves match too. A ring of 5 white petals is quite a common design amongst flowers Grin
