G. uliginosum is such a small plant (you can tell by the nearby leaves of grass) you can easily overlook it. It grows in the garden and specifically in our greenhouse, appearing in late summer with this very mealy, mildewed look to its leaves. The flowers are brownish and every bit as inconspicuous as they seem in the photograph being hidden usually by leaves.
