Can anyone ID this plant?

(1/1)

WhistlingBadger:
This plant showed up in the terrestrial part of my frog/fish paludarium.  I'm pretty sure it came in with some wild mosses I brought back from Michigan last summer.  Anybody know what it is?

By the way, the long stems growing through it are rice plants.  And the little thing that looks like a frog?  That's a frog.   ;D

Pat B:
Sorry but I can't help you with the plant but I have an app on my iPhone called "Seek" to help ID plants and it's free. Works pretty good too.

Chumash:
May be some sort of indian lettuce or miner's lettuce: Montia perfoliata or Claytonia perfoliata
but the leafs look like ground ivy: Glechoma hederacea.

Did you know the colour of the flowers?

WhistlingBadger:
Well, after doing some looking and consulting some other plant lovers, I'm pretty sure it's bittercress, probably wavy (Cardamine flexuosa) or cuckoo flower (c. pratensis).  Might have to let it grow a bit and try some on a roast beef sandwich.  Pretty little plant!  Too bad it's a noxious weed.

bjrogg:
I’m just looking at my phone, but I’m thinking it might be wild geraniums. They are a weed here.
