Persian Speedwell (Veronica persica)


Photographed April 14.

A tiny but beautiful lawn weed that brightens our yards in early spring. Here we see a tiny black ant finding something delicious in the flower. Bees and butterflies get all the credit as pollinators, but ants do a lot of work, too.

For a more thorough description, see the Veronica persica reference page.
