Plant identification #842964

Asked July 27, 2023, 9:45 PM EDT

I am trying to identify if this plant is a weed or a good plant. It is growing next to a sword fern in our garden.

Clackamas County Oregon

Expert Response

There are a few other Claytonia, but I think this is Claytonia sibirica (Siberian Spring Beauty, Siberian Miner's Lettuce, Candy Flower or Pink Purslane). Compare the flowers to online images once they are fully open. It's a native plant in our area.
