Hi Ken,
your plant is an introduced plant from Japan and the Himalayas, and is called Mazus reptans. Its common name is also mazus. It is a garden escape and groundcover that has now spread widely in moist lawns.
I apologize for the delay in my reply. I had software issues that only now have been fixed. Thank you for your patience.
Sincerely,
Dr. Steven Hill, Botanist, SCNPS
