Instead of grass
A neighbor several houses up the road has this tiny plant in their front lawn instead of grass. Now that it's been raining a lot, the plant has sprouted some cute, little yellow flowers less than an inch long. I think it looks great, though I have no idea what the plant's called. Of course, when I pass their house, I keep wondering if they'll feel great to walk on with bare feet too. Maybe one of these days I'll just take off my sandals and try it, and just hope they won't notice any crushed areas.

A friend finally managed to find out what plant this is: Pinto peanuts (Arachis pintoi). Yay!
yes!!! these are ornamental peanut plants. they don't grow those peanut legumes from their roots...they are being widely used in Philippines because they bear more flowers as compared to a regular peanut plant, they also promote weed free lawns because of how their roots are webbed....they also need less tending as compared to grass.....
