Ground cover

Does anyone know what these tiny flowers are? I saw them in a park yesterday and really liked them. They made great ground cover. Some of them were purple as well as white.Thanks

The multitude of small white flowers look like Common Daisy - bellis perennis - but the perspective is a bit tricky.

They are daisy like but don't look like the ones that pop up on my lawn! They are densely packed together like a carpet!

The daisies in your lawn probably get cut regularly, (but I won't judge if they don't).

This may or may not be the answer.

At a friends house last year he asked me to help identify a plant with a blue flower in his lawn, with a bit of digging, (internet, not lawn) I discovered that it was Self Heal, which can grow to 30cm high in the wild, his were really short, just a basal rosette of leaves with the blooms poking up above grass level, unlike mine, his grass is cut regularly.

Saying nothing re lawn!

I will have a look at some seed catalogues and see if I can spot some.
