are bigger in the neglected lawn. I don't think this particular weed is a
violet, however, it looks more like campanula glomerata (clustered
bellflower). And those neighbours who use 'weed and feed' don't have any
in
their lawns.



While we're on the subject of violet/purple-coloured flowers in lawns, I've
got another one: it has just started flowering, slightly fleshy, rounded
leaves and a short "loo-brush-shaped" head. Any ideas?

This first comes to mind.
