I'm in New Orleans area... and Bob[emoji217] goes right for these two when I have him outside!

Any ideas? I couldn't find them on the tortoise plant Id U.K. Page.

One is growing as low dense ground cover with the white flowers they are both mixed into the lawn where I am renting. Also ... crab grass, yayy or nay?
Second one is not parsley as I have smelled it to check lol

The first one is Virginia Button Weed, I think.
I have no clue if it’s good, bad or so-so...but it’s everywhere!!![emoji33]

I couldn’t find much on the Buttonweed. It’s name is Diodia virginiana and it’s a member of the Rubiaceae (Madder) family. Whatever that means.
I found one post about chickens eating it, but that doesn’t mean anything for torts.
If anyone finds out more about this thing, I’m interested to hear, too![emoji2]
