Little leaves like hopps. I believe they have blue flowers.

Checked http://www.ipm.ucdavis.edu/PMG/weeds_common.html &
http://www.rce.rutgers.edu/weeds/thumbnail.asp

Blue flowers? It could be some sort of speedwell:
Veronica arvensis, V. agrestis, V. persica
...and others...


Yes, that is what Scott's says they look like Veronica.

Thanks for the info / reply back.

Some of these are perennial, some are winter annuals.

Are the stems rounded or square? Any pictures available of the weed
in the lawn (or less wilted, with a scale nearby)?
