Here are some additional plants in our lawns that are not lawns. Some I had forgotten and some I hadn’t identified. Wild chamomile (pineapple plant), lambs quarters or pig weed (can be cookied and eaten;tastes like spinach), chickweed, rose mallow, butter and eggs, and sand spurrey. There are probably more!
What differentiates a bulb from a perennial plant is that the nourishment for the flower is stored within the bulb itself.…There is something miraculous about the way that a little grenade of dried up tissue can explode into a complete flower.

Around here lamb’s quarters and pigweed are two different plants, but I’d say we have most of the same plants in our lawn, although the pineapple weed grows in our gravel driveway, not the lawn. (Smells nice when you step out of the car.)
