They made me think you were a prostrate living in New York.

I love you forever Gabby.

Introduced, warm season, annual, prostrate herb with stems to 25 cm long. Leaves are linear, lanceolate or rarely oblanceolate and 15–25 mm long. Flowers are in 1–6-flowered heads. Petals are 3–8 mm long and pink. Stamens number 15–25. Capsules are to 7 mm long and contain black seeds. Flowering is in summer. A native of the Americas, it occurs on coastal sandy soils.
Native cool-season annual or short-lived perennial herb with prostrate or weakly erect stems which root at the nodes and are sparsely covered in long white hairs. Leaves are 1-2 times divided, 1-4 cm long and sparsely hairy to nearly hairless. Flowerheads consist of solitary heads held above the leaves on slender stalks. Heads are hemispherical, 4-5 mm wide and usually creamy to yellow-green. Fruit are 1–1.5 mm long and flattened, with narrow thickened wings or wingless. Flowers in winter and spring. Found in moist, often disturbed, areas of lawns, grasslands, woodlands and grassy forests. Native biodiversity. An indicator of bare ground and reduced competition. A minor species of pastures, being most common in short, moist areas. Of little importance to stock, as it produces little bulk, is not readily eaten and is rarely abundant.

Native, terrestrial or occasionally aquatic, hairless, usually prostrate annual or perennial herb. Leaves ovate, usually broadly so, mostly 0.1–0.5 cm long and shortly petiolate. Flowers solitary in axils. Corolla 2-lipped, with the limb blue, purple or pink; tube 5–10 mm long, white or yellow sometimes with red spots; lower lip c. 4 mm long with a prominent yellow raised palate at the base closing mouth. Flowers from spring to autumn. Grows in swampy sites, open margins of lakes, watercourses, or in temporarily wet areas, sometimes in saline sites.
Introduced, warm-season, annual or short-lived perennial, prostrate herb covered in stiff hairs. Stems are mostly more than 15 cm long. Leaves are opposite, hairy, elliptical to ovate, 0.5-5 cm long and 0.8-2.8 cm wide. Flowerheads are heads of 20 (or more) small (3-8 mm long) white flowers, mostly with 6 petals and 6 sepals (can be 5-7). Flowering is from late winter to autumn. A native of South America, it is a weed of disturbed places, such as river flats, stockyards and roadsides. An indicator of disturbance and poor ground cover. Of little importance to livestock grazing, as it usually occurs in low abundance, is very low growing and produces little bulk. Control is not required; abundance is suppressed with healthy vigorous pastures.

Amaranthus is a cosmopolitan group of more than 50 species which make up the genus of annual or short-lived perennial plants collectively known as amaranths. Some of the more well known names include "prostrate pigweed" and "love lies bleeding". Some amaranth species are cultivated as leaf vegetables, pseudocereals, and ornamental plants.
They are in the family Amaranthaceae.
Amaranthaceae is a family of flowering plants commonly known as the amaranth family, in reference to its type genus Amaranthus. It also includes the former goosefoot family Chenopodiaceae and contains about 165 genera and 2,040 species.
The family Amaranthaceae is of some economic importance. Some species, such as spinach (Spinacia oleracea) or forms of beet (Beta vulgaris) (beetroot, chard), are used as vegetables. Forms of Beta vulgaris include fodder beet (Mangelwurzel) and sugar beet. The seeds of Amaranthus, lamb's quarters (Chenopodium berlandieri), quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa) and kañiwa (Chenopodium pallidicaule) are edible and are used as pseudocereals.

Occasional and locally abundant in the Bozeman area, prostrate pigweed like other species in the genus requires sites with high levels of disturbance, such as this site that was recently landscaped. The long attenuate spine-tipped flower bracts that surpass the length of the tepals enclosed distinguish this species from the similar Amaranthus blitoides. This site lies along West Harrison Street on the Montana State University campus, Bozeman.

Introduced, cool-season, annual, low-growing, hairless legume, with prostrate to ascending stems. Leaves have 3 leaflets, each oblong to ovate and 8-16 mm long. The central leaflet has a distinctly longer stalk than the lateral ones. Flowerheads are dense, rounded clusters (8-15 mm long) of 20-40 yellow, inflated, pea-like flowers. Pods are oblong and 1-2 mm long. Flowering is in spring. A native of Europe, the Mediterranean and West Asia, it is found in pastures, woodlands and roadsides; although more common on roadsides than in grazed pastures. Usually found on coarse-textured low-fertility soils where groundcover is reduced. Generally only found at low densities in pastures. Provides good quality feed, but it is not very productive.
Introduced cool-season annual
low-growing hairless herbaceous C3 legume with prostrate to ascending stems. Leaves have 3 leaflets, each oblong to ovate and 8-16 mm long. The central leaflet has a distinctly longer stalk than the lateral ones. Flowerheads are dense, rounded clusters (8-15 mm long) of 20-40 yellow inflated pea-like flowers.
Fruits are oblong pods, 1-2 mm long and shorter than the sepals; petals are persistent during fruiting. Flowers from spring to mid-summer. A native of Europe, the Mediterranean and West Asia, it is found in woodlands, grasslands, roadsides and disturbed sites. Most common on moist low-fertility coarse-textured soils. Generally only found at low densities in pastures, it is more common on roadsides. Has a high hard-seed content, which makes it very persistent. Provides good quality feed, but it is not very productive; although it grows from autumn to mid-summer, but most growth is in spring. Responds to increased fertility, but is not shade tolerant: keep pastures short in late winter and spring to maximise production.
Prostrate,warm-season, perennial herb forming dense mats up to 1.6 m across. Stems are thick and woody. Grey, hairy, slightly succulent, roughly spoon-shaped leaves are alternately arranged along the stems and 4–25 mm long. Flowers are tiny white to pink, found in the leaf axils and have 5 "petals" and 10 stamens. Fruit are small (2-3 mm across) cup-shaped capsules containing a small number of seeds. Flowering is from spring through to autumn. Not very common, but may be locally abundant, especially in the Hunter Valley. Often forms dense mats on roadsides, lawns, wasteland, and other disturbed areas. Tolerates drought and soil salinity. Most commonly found in areas receiving summer rainfall, on loam soils. Does not persist in areas that are regularly and frequently grazed. Successfully planted to stabilise mine tailing dumps, but has spread from there.

This colourful new prostrate Coprosma from the Chatman Islands was selected by Tom Johnson. Autumn Haze has small glossy cream and green variegated foliage delightfully coloured with soft peach to apricot tones. The plant forms a dense groundcover making it an ideal choice for low maintenance gardening at the front of the border or as a specimen in a low pot on the deck or patio. Autumn Haze is half-hardy.
Autumn haze is protected by Plant Breeders Rights in Europe under number EU 20071785.
The variety has been bred by Tom Johnson, New Zealand.
