    while picking between the rocks in a flower bed I found this little plant had moved in. They are about 2" tall and rather rubbery. Wondering if it's something wild that will run crazy in my bed or if maybe it was a perenial hitchhiker from last year.

    Terrisak, you have a Marchantia polymorpha - aren't they cute? Google this name and check the wikipedia link. ;)) barb

    That's what everyone is here for. I am usually not this much help, but I'd run across these before so went back through my old posts. We thought they looked like Dr. Seuss Trees. This is the best garden forum I've found for information, even in it's fore shortened form. The best part is that you will get answers from all over the world and meet some very interesting people. barb
