@Ray--Opo, the one circled in red? Wow, you guys get so many plants where you are! I can’t tell; have you mowed the plants in that area recently?

Hey, look at this Florida plant list from, where else, your local Coop Extension! http://rcrec-ona.ifas.ufl.edu/weed-identification/. And a shorter one, from someone who is willing to kill the weeds in your yard. :/ http://www.floridalawncare.org/101.html.

Yep that's the one. I the lawn/ weeds was cut last Thursday. We had a good 24hr soaking rain a few days ago. It only grows where the sun cant hit the ground because of the house.
Thank you for the links. Time to do some homework

A book I use when I’m trying to figure out plants is the Audubon Field Guide to North American Wildflowers. It’s literally designed to help you figure out what you’re looking at right where it’s growing.

It starts by having you choose the color of the flower and then eventually the shape (shapes take a while to learn; even if all you can figure out is color that’s okay).

When you find something that looks close it will tell you if it grows where you are. If the plant you’re looking at only grows in the forests of Appalachia, you’re wrong. :)

Apps can be great but a field guide is more reliable. https://www.amazon.com/dp/0375402330/?tag=exoticpetnetw-20. I like this one as well: https://www.amazon.com/dp/0963490915/?tag=exoticpetnetw-20. It’s out of print but you can get a used one on Amazon, it is specific to only desert plants.

Thanks! I'm copying you and buying these.
