Expert Response
Thanks for contacting Extension. It is a little hard to tell and ID from the photo. Are you able to bring in a sample of the whole plant, including roots, to the Delta office? The office is open 7:30-11:30 and 12:30-4:30 and is located at 525 Dodge Street in Delta. Master Gardeners are in Wednesdays at 9am if you are able to bring in a sample before then.
Many weeds take advantage of lawns that aren't at their optimal. Here is a link to our factsheet that has some general lawn care recommendations to help keep weeds out: Lawn Care (Fact sheet 7.202).
If you aren't able to drop a sample off, please upload some photos that show the whole plant, including the roots, and some closer up images of the leaves.
