    This low growing creeper has infested one area of my grass (not paying much attention was I?) Hope somebody can identify it for me. No flowers that I have seen.
    I have another area with a lot of achillea seedings and I have (gasp!) been spraying both areas with killex and it is being effectively - the infestations are slowing dying off.

    Hard to tell for certain with it being a bit blurred, but check Creeping Buttercup (Ranunculus repens)

    Thanks. I think that is it although I have never seen it flower. Here is a pic of the leaves,(the flat edge on one is probably a result of lawn cutting) and one from another website.

    Looks like Creeping Buttercup to me too.
