Common Strawberry

A common running plant in fields. White 5-petal blooms with yellow centers. Hairy, three part leaves with very toothed edges (that alway seem to capture individual dew-drops). Very-same to domestic strawberry - a plant that propagates by runners. Small sweet-tart starwberries - with an intenser sweetness. Good wildlife food source.
