Rustweed - Juniperleaf (Polypremum procumbens)

Here's another small weed that caught my attention. If I see flowers blooming even this tiny then I want to know what they are. Rustweed or Juniperleaf  I notice every time I walk out the door. It came up near some flowers. Before I had time to pull it up I noticed the blooms and left it so I could look it up later. It took a little time searching for but finally I found the name. This small weed is native throughout the Southeastern United States and can be found in other parts of the world as well. The leaves later turn a orange color hence the name Rustweed. The name Juniperleaf because of the leaves resemblance to Juniper. Seems like we could come up with one name and stick with it. :) I couldn't find any information as to it being edible or medicinal. Only God has all the information we need about His creation. We humans know so little but a great Creator knows every tiny weed and for what purpose He put it here on earth. Take some time and discover God's creation today.
