Topic: Anyone recognize this? [Solved] - Petty spurge (Euphorbiaceae)

[Patty S]

While we're having an early break in the weather, I'm getting some garden beds cleaned up & ready for planting.

I'm not sure if this plant was in any of my gardens last year, or not. (It seems like it's been so long, I can't be sure what was out there!)
     

It's sorta pretty, but I'm suspicious of "pretty" things that show up in the garden over the winter! Does anyone know what it is?

(Disregard the Azalea on the right side of the pic... that was there before, & I already know what it is.)

I can tell you it's a weed, but not what it's name is. Real helpful, huh?

I only say this because I had one pop up last year, and left it alone, thinking it looked neat. I now have hundreds.

Thanx, Sarah. I don't mind just ONE, so this one is outta here, cuz I don't want "hundreds"! (I've done that before, with other "pretties... & I'm still fighting them!)

I don't think I even need to know the name now!
