What weed is this?
Thanks in advance for any help!
It's cropping up all over my southwestern CT lawn.

I haven't seen any flowers. I've googled the heck out of this, tried a couple of apps, etc.. and I can't figure out what it is. I keep finding things that are close, but not quite right...

So we found some more (larger ones) and this photo does show 'something' (little red things). Not really a flower per se, but maybe it will be?

I think it's Three Seeded Mercury (Acalypha).
There are 2 photos of it here if you scroll way down.

Check out the side "flowers" it gets along the stem... that's a good way to i.d. it.

Awesome, thanks!
I also heard back from someone else who told me it might be Virginia copperleaf. Virginia copperleaf, like three seeded mercury, appears to be a type of acalypha as well.
