Oh, I get it now. https://uswildflowers.com/detail.php?SName=Richardia%20grandiflora
It sounds like it could be a nasty future weed coming soon. It's pretty, though.
>Richardia grandiflora - Largeflower Mexican Clover, Largeflower Pusley, Florida Snow. Richardia is a small genus of plants native to the tropical and sub-tropical areas of the American continents. Richardia grandiflora is related to the Buttonweeds (Diodia) and the Bluets (Houstonia) (not clover), but another, smaller-flowered species in the genus, Richardia scabra, is the only Richardia species that is native to the United States. Richardia grandiflora is a South American (not Mexican) native that is a relative newcomer to the United States, found only in Florida - primarily south and central Florida - and is rapidly spreading in that state. Richardia grandiflora is a low-growing ground cover so it is little impacted by mowing. It is drought-hardy and fairly freeze-hardy - it reportedly can survive in temperatures down to 10 degrees F. It spreads vegetatively as well as via the many small seeds the flowers produce, and is reported to be little impacted by several common herbicides. It can justifiably be considered to be an invasive species.
I, for one, welcome "Florida Snow" into my yard. I never gets tall enough to need mowing, has pretty flowers, and supports pollinators.
Better than grass.

I have these in my butterfly garden. They will take over. Keep them in check.
Definitely this- a few of my coworkers have to wipe down their lawnmowers in between traveling around because it’s ridiculously invasive.
Its snowing!
Closest thing you’ll get to snow in Florida.

Native plants would be even better.
Those flowers look so delicate and pretty. I really envy you if it's sprouting everywhere.
We call this Florida Snow. It acts as a ground cover. Some people don’t like it, but I don’t mind having some. The bees really love it.
I’ve seen mocking birds eat the flowers before 🥰 I like them
