Tiny unknown weed
« on: December 01, 2012, 07:35:06 PM »
Could anyone name this tiny weed that showed up in my rock garden?  It seeds prolifically but is easy to pull out.  I suspect I introduced it myself with seeds I've grown.

Yes, I think that's it!  Thank you, Davey!
Apparently, it does occur as an introduced weed in Alberta, mainly along railway grades and waste ground.  I've never seen it in the garden elsewhere or before this time, so I still think it likely came in with some other seeds.
