I am more familiar with this little plant. It's flat on the ground and has the pretty little pea-like coral blooms. I suspect it is in the pea family, but I've never kept up with one enough to know whether it makes a bean-like pod or not, but it looks like a legume of some sort to me. This is a small plant. The blooms are 1/2" or less top to bottom. Foliage is gray green.
detail of bloom on the left; whole plant on the right - that's the toe of my boot on the left of the photo to give size perspective.


It wouldn't be very noticeable except for the eye-catching color of the blooms.
