Field Notes

Description:

Some kind of flowering weed. My wife thinks its milkweed but we're not sure. Clusters of tiny white flowers. Soft, almost velvety, spear shaped leaves. If its native to this region we'll just let it grow.

Habitat:

Front lawn. Low density urban.

The habitat does make your suggestion much more likely, I have removed mine.

Doesn't look like Cardamine bulbosa. Martin, you should take pictures of the fruit too, to easy the identification. ;)
