Thymeleaf sandwort

The pictures are not good and I forgot where I took them, so I could not find out the name of this plant. But recently I got it!

This is 'Nomi-no Tsuzuri' or thymeleaf sandwort. The Japanese word 'Nomi' means lice, and 'Tsuzuri' means shabby clothes. The botanical name is Arenaria serpyllifolia.







The size of the flowers is very small --- about 5mm. And I took these pictures in last spring (^_^;;;
