The Grass Doctor

What are those little green spiked weeds that grow in lawns called?

They are flat, round and the leaves are arrow shaped, with tiny thorns, I can't find any pictures on Google, I hope someone knows what I'm talking about?

1. I know exactly what you are talking about; we call them alligator plants just cuz they about sneak up and bite you when you aren't looking ! I don't know what they are really called but they are NASTY little buggers ! We have them here in NC like crazy !
2. sounds like sand grass, we had something like that in Ca , may be wrong but thats what it was called there,
3. Do you mean a Stinging Nettle? They basically feel like you've been stung and make you itch. The link I've enclosed will show you what the Stinging Nettle looks like and whether that is what you are looking for. Good luck.
