Hello
Not sure where to post this. I have this growing in my flower beds here and there. I think some kind of moss maybe. Only in the shade and it will spread. Very low growing 3/4 to 1 inch and about 4 inches across. It is kind of neat. Here are a couple of pics.
Close up.

Thanks for any help

It is delicate and pretty. Are those little flower buds on it?
I have no idea what it is. Could be a weed as far as I know, albeit a very pretty one.

Hope someone here will have an answer for you soon.

Irish Moss? White flowers?

Is Irish Moss a good thing to have in your garden? Is it overly invasive and choke out other plants, or is it a nice ground cover that gets along well with others?

Hi
No white flowers. If you look at the first pic about an inch up from the bottom and alittle left of center, that is the flower.

Just a tan/brown seed pod? It has only spread to three places and each only 4 or 5 inches around. Have had it for two years.
