Like
annual blue-eyed grass, these also open only during the day. They're corn speedwells (Veronica arvensis). The flowers are so tiny, just 3 to 5 mm in diameter! (See the last photo.! Corn speedwells usually have blue flowers but I found a pink one unintendedly. (Can you see it in the 3rd photo?)
The speedwell brothers (below) have terrible but funny Japanese names, which were given by Dr. Tomitaro Makino, a late Japanese botanist:
- Veronica polita (grey field-speedwell) named "inu no fuguri," which translates to "dog's balls," after the resemblance of its fruit shape to dog's balls.
- Veronica persica (Persian speedwell) named "ooinu no fuguri," which translates to "large dog's balls" after its larger flowers than those of grey field-speedwell.
- Veronica arvensis (corn speedwell) named "tachi inu no fuguri," which translates to "standing dog's balls" after its stems standing upright.

タチイヌノフグリ（立犬の殖栗）です。ちっちゃい（最後の写真見るとよく分かります。）！花の直径は3~5ミリぐらいです。いつも歩いている場所なのですが、朝は閉じていて全く気付きませんでした。
普通、花の色は青なのですが、ピンクを見つけてしまいました。3枚目の写真です。どこにあるか分かりますか？
