This flower is so tiny that it’s hard to see unless your face is on top
of the plant. Like the Thyme-Leaved Speedwell (Veronica serpyllifolia),
the flowers fall off with the slightest shaking of the plant. Because I dug up
a plant, it was very easy to follow the key to the proper identification:
- Flower racemes terminating the main stem (as opposed to in the leaf axils).
- Plant annual, from fibrous roots.
- Pedicels (flower stem) very short, up to 2 mm long.
- Flower corolla blue.
