A weedy 'visitor'

Veronica persica
This little weed, Veronica persica, appeared one spring years ago in the little scruffy "lawn" on the property on which we live (in a shared space). It literally covered the turf that spring with a soft blue haze! I was delighted, loving a mixed bag of walk-on ground cover more than a mono-culture. Yet that was the only year. Nothing was done to irradiate it just as nothing was done to introduce it! We do, at time, have raccoons and possums come through (seeds caught on fur?), but I've never seen it here again.Hope someday it returns!
