What about the little white flowers behind the bush clover? That seemed the dominant plant.

Sandbur is an annual grass. It doesn't flower or at least not what I would call a flower. Until it gets the burrs on it I can't tell it apart from a few other grasses. This is the first years since I bought my house I haven't seen one in the lawn. For the last couple of years I've been pulling everyone I see and using a crapgrass preventer that contains dithiopyr (Menards brand). Finally have them under control.

They can stay dormant in the seed bank for YEARS, and I don't mean 3 or 4......
