| #1 looks like Nemophila menziesii Baby Blue Eyes #2 no idea #3 no idea #4 looks like a Sisyrinchium of some kind #5 looks like Ipheion #6 looks like some sort of geranium #4 and #5 grow from rhizomes or bulbs and come up every year but would "disappear" after flowering. IF (emphasis on "if") I'm correct, what you've posted photos of "could be" used as a now mow grass alternative BUT wouldn't take foot traffic. Some of what you've shown are spring blooming and wouldn't be green all year. Hard to tell from the photos because they aren't close enough to get accurate ID's. |

| I second that the photos are difficult to distinguish which plant is being specifically identified, as there are multiple foliage and blooms in your photos. #2 is a conglomeration of plants #3 looks like Viola canadensis flowers, but not the leaves. It is a little blurry to even be sure on the flower part. If you are looking for a good no mow lawn that can accept some foot traffic (and you have a sandy soil, which is likely in NC), then you may want to try Sagina subulata.

| 1 Speedwell (Veronica ssp) 2 ? 3 Field Pansy (Viola bicolor) 4 could be Bluet (Houstonia) 5 Ipheion 6 ? same as 2 |

| #1 a type of Speedwell (Vernoica species). Not nemophila, since nemophila flowers have five petals #4 Houstonia (4 petals). not Sisyrinchium (six petals) When the debate is lost, slander becomes the tool of the losers. - Socrates |
