Unknown ( photo / image / picture from FlowerFreak22's Garden )
Anyone have any idea? It grows low and hasn't gotten very big. No stem leaves, from what I can tell their all basal. I have been trying to figure this one out for a while. Please help, thanks.

Could you tell us a little bit more about the plant please so that it will help us ID it for you. Is it a clump forming plant? What size is the flower? What are the leaves like? Thanks.

The whole plant is about 3-4 inches tall. Its basal leaves are spoon-shaped. It might clump, but I have only found 3 or 4 plants in one spot in the whole yard. It gets full sun all day. The flower is tiny; about the size of Glechoma (Ground Ivy). It has not yet produced fruit. It is growing in Georgia in the same type of habitat as Chickweed and Sherardia arvensis. Hope that's a little more help.

It looks like a snapdragon flower to me.

I was thinking a type of snapdragon also, whatever it is it is very pretty and what a great photo you have taken as well.

Yay, thanks to Tina and playtime8978 and your snapdragon suggestion I found out what it is. It is Mazus japonicus(Japanese Mazus). Thanks again.
