They're Veronica persica or more commonly known as Persian speedwell. As I've written many times, the plant was named "large dog balls" in Japanese after the resemblance of its fruits to the balls by Tomitaro Makino, a pioneer Japanese botanist. At first I thought it unfair but when I actually saw the fruit, I had to admit that he was right😂.

オオイヌノフグリ（大犬の殖栗）です。最初見たときはこんなかわいい花にこんなひどい名前を付けた牧野富太郎先生に憤慨しましたが、実際に果実を見たら納得せざるを得ませんでした😂。果実をご覧になりたい方はこちらをどうぞ！
