Introduced, warm-season, annual or perennial, prostrate to ascending herb. Stems are pubescent to woolly or hairless and to 25 cm tall. Leaves are opposite, oblong to more or less spathulate and 2–5 cm long; upper surface is sparsely hairy to hairless, lower surface is pubescent to woolly. Flowerheads are 1–4 cm long, 1–1.2 cm wide. Perianth segments are white, shining and papery. A native of America, it is a widespread weed.
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.
Hypericum calycinum is a prostrate or low-growing shrub species of the genus Hypericum (Clusiaceae). Widely cultivated for its large yellow flowers, its name as a garden plant include Rose of Sharon in Britain and Australia, and Aaron's beard, Great St-John's wort, and Jerusalem star.
It is a low, creeping, woody shrub to about 1 m tall and 1–2 m wide but often smaller. The green, ovate leaves grow in opposite pairs. The solitary flowers are 3–5 cm in diameter, a rich yellow, with five petals and numerous yellow stamens. It is indigenous to southeast Europe and southwest Asia. It is a popular, semi-evergreen garden shrub with many named cultivars and hybrids derived from it.

Before we realized how tiny and prostrate these little lupines were, we planted some seeds in our poppy/lupine beds in the front yard, but they will likely never see the light of day amongst the big poppies and lupines. In the rock garden in the back yeard, we planted one sky lupine (lupinus nanus), so hopefully we can keep an eye on it.

Kleinia pendula has prostrate marbled succulent stems that arch over and touch the soil where they root, sending out more stems. The inflorescence is a showy red pom-pom of many tiny flowers.
Native, warm season, perennial herb. Stems are creeping, prostrate to decumbent and slender, with strongly retrorse-strigose hairs. Leaves are hastate or sagittate, 4–6.5 cm long, 15–32 mm wide, with sparse antrorse to occasionally retrorse hairs mostly restricted to veins and margins. Flowerheads have 2–4 branches with small terminal subglobose flower clusters 5–10 mm long with bracts crowded at end of branches. Perianth segments 3.0–3.7 mm long, pink or white. Common in coastal regions (less so on the South Coast). In open swamps. Not eaten by livestock.

Anemone are perennials that have basal leaves with long leaf-stems that can be upright or prostrate. Leaves are simple or compound with lobed, parted, or undivided leaf blades. The leaf margins are toothed or entire.
Flowers with 4-27 sepals are produced singly, in cymes of 2-9 flowers, or in umbels, above a cluster of leaf- or sepal-like bracts. Sepals may be any color. They are bisexual 10 to 200 stamens and many simple pistils. The pistils have one ovule. The flowers have nectaries, but petals are missing in the majority of species.
The fruits are ovoid to obovoid shaped achenes that are collected together in a tight cluster, ending variously lengthened stalks; though many species have sessile clusters terminating the stems. The achenes are beaked and some species have feathery hairs attached to them

Native, warm season, perennial, prostrate, spreading herb to 30 cm diameter, developing a thick rootstock. Leaves are circular to ovate with toothed margins, 1–3 cm long, whitish and felt-like below; main veins sunken, giving a ‘corrugated’ appearance. Flowers are yellow, with 5 petals, each petal 4–5 mm long; borne on slender stalks from leaf axils. Fruits are flattened, globular, about 5 mm across, consisting of 5–10 wedge-shaped mericarps. Flowering is mainly in spring, but also in summer after favourable rains. Found in most vegetation communities. Grows on a variety of soil types, including sands and clays. Extremely drought tolerant. Grows throughout the warmer months of the year following suitable rainfall. Provides palatable forage for stock. Useful groundcover - protects soil. Provides pollen for native insects.

After hiking up to 3 temples and prostrating for our New Year wishes before lunch time, we said goodbye to Haa to move back to Paro and wind our trip--and the year 2012--down. We passed through Chelala at 13,083 feet with a view of Jumolhari, the highest peak of Bhutan. We also made a stop at the base of the Kiligoempa Temple at this prayer wheel which spins from the water pressure but is currently on pause because of the day's icy conditions this high up. Happy New Year to all of you from Bhutan!!!
