    Low creeper. Small white flowers, seemingly in an inflorescence but only a few flowers appear at a time, based on what I saw today. Leaves are palmate and stiff. At Lost Lagoon in Stanley Park in Vancouver.

    Thanks, Eric. That looks good. From the same source: "Mesic to dry roadsides and waste places in the lowland and montane zones; rare in S BC". Origin status is Exotic.

    All that stuff growing around Lost Lagoon is likely to have been planted.

    Or, becoming increasingly common as a weed.
