The picture is a bit fuzzy, um maybe a type of clover, I use Searles lawn weeder or lawn perfect for that kind of thing
Is it a bit like a succulent if so could be pig weed hard to tell though.
It is called Red Caustic Weed. Use broadleaf weeder or paint with roundup
here you go Courty. thought you might find this interesting

We have a few snakes around here but not likely to need it for that but may be able to sell it to the youngsters in town for the other though

Just bottle the stuff Courty. Could be a good little earner on the side. You could become the local castic weed dealerOriginally Posted by courty
Yep red caustic weed.. Proliffic seeder so get onto it asap.otherwise it will spread like wildfire
Yeah sure is Red Caustic Weed(Chameasyce drummondi) from the Euphorbiace family.The family of milky sap.And also a Prolific seeder which has no seed dormacy and gernimates quickly,so get to that weed ASAP before it takes over especially being so close to spring..

Is anyone able to ID this weed? I usually see it in garden beds but this time it's invading quite a large area of lawn. It has white look like little white bulblets on the roots too.
Need to spray the lawn for broadleaf weeds but wanting to check this out first.
Looks like vetch, part of the pea family, fairly easy to pull out by hand.
Thanks so much. Common Vetch it is. Not one I knew. Definitely a pea-type flower. Does pull out okay but this is covering a huge area and I don't bend too well from the hips anymore to do hand weeding. Was worried about the little bulblets staying behind and reshooting?
Sounds like a useful plant actually but a shame it's become a lawn and garden weed. The bulblets I described are actually the nitrogen fixing nodules.
