This little plants creeps around the steps and although it is often called a pest, the little yellow flowers bring a bit of brightness.

Its seeds are rather fun though, and have a way to ensure they spread. You get little pods of seeds, almost like mini pea pods. But when you touch them, they pop and spray the seeds. It made me jump when I touched one last year before I knew what plant it was.

But this year, those seeds must have popped up into my pots, because its now creeping and covering as it goes. Its fun letting nature do its thing.
