What's this please?

A few days ago I noticed these little growths popping up in the corner of my lawn. I have no idea what it is and the plant app on my phone calls it unidentified!!

Can anybody help please?

Re: What's this please?

Could be anything .
Have you had any love in the mist or forget me nots in your garden ?
My are popping up by the million.

On the other hand could be thistles until the next leaves come along it will be difficult to identify .

Re: What's this please?

No. The leaves are very small making identification tricky. Anyway regardless of what they are I presume you don't want them spreading and taking over your lawn so you will need to apply a liquid lawn weedkiller. Use a spray rather than a watering can. Lawn weedkiller is a "selective" weed killer and will only kill weeds, not grass, whereas, a general purpose weedkiller will kill everything green.

Sometimes they can be spread by birds Carol, is there some bird feed close by that could spread seeds onto your lawn?

Re: What's this please?

Yes there is bird feed close by..

Re: What's this please?

It could be your problem Carol.
I knew someone who unknowingly was growing cannabis after seeds were distributed from their bird feeder.....Yea Man!

Re: What's this please?

Not fair...we only get barley growing from our bird seed!

They look like sycamore seedlings but hard to tell from a photo.
Is there a sycamore tree growing nearby?

Edit: Actually I think the ends of the leaves are too round for sycamore.

Re: What's this please?

They're gone now - Tony mowed the lawn today.

Mind you - he mowed up half of my fledgling grass that I'd set from seeds a few weeks ago. Not to pleased about that!!

Re: What's this please?

That's it! I was trying to think why they are so familiar.

Re: What's this please?

I thought much the same as you Foxy.
