It doesnt seem to match any of the 12 weed photographs on the pack of the moss/weed killer I have bought.  Does anyone know what it is?  I dont think it flowers, at least I havent noticed it flowering. Thanks

    It looks like some kind of creeper. I'm just wondering if it's found it's way into the lawn from a nearby flower bed ? 
    I feel like l should know what it is , it's driving me nuts !
    Some kind of speedwell perhaps?

    One of the bittercresses (Cardamines) perhaps?

    Just found something similar on an Australian site but it had white flowers which I've never seen.  Does anyone think this could be a chickweed?

    Looks a lot like Oregano, which spread all over our garden last year. Pick some leaves, crush and smell them.

    I think it is Selfheal, Prunella vulgaris.

    Thanks both, not oregano I’m afraid and it doesn’t look like self heal either Alan C2 from the pictures I’ve checked out.   It’s a bit of a mystery but hard to get rid of nonetheless. Thanks for your suggestions

    Could it be Scarlet Pimpernel, Lysimachia Arvensis. Check the stems. They are usually square.

    Is it thyme-leaved speedwell?
