  Hi guys
  
  There has been this weed popping up every once and awhile in between the crevices of my concrete floor outside and I’m hoping that you can help me find out what the weed is called. I’ve attached 2 photos

  It looks like water cress to me. Have you tasted it?

  It’s not watercress although it kinda looks like it.

  I just realized you’re in Australia, you might have very different weeds there (I’m in Europe). We have an Aussie Forum leader though, and quite a few Aussie members, so they might know!

  It does look like some sort of cress. Do you ever see it get flowers? It looks like young, new growth.
  Bittercress is common and pops up everywhere but the leaf shape doesn’t quite look like that.
  Another guess is petty spurge?

  If I recall I have seen it gets small green/white flowers.

  I don’t think it’s petty spurge, we got a lot of that here and maybe I’ve never noticed it that young, but it doesn’t look right for that to me.
  
  It does look quite like a cress. Either that or I was thinking that perhaps it could be a chickweed, but the leaf shape isn’t quite right for that either by the looks, very rounded on the ends of the leaves. Unless the younger plants have more rounded leaves or the variety it is.
