No, it doesn't vine or creep. Just very flat to the ground, but the leaves all kind of come from the center out, and the flowers come up from the center. After I found them I started watering them so these are fairly healthy. I thought the flower looked like sweet peas, but then the rest of the plant is wrong for that. I keep thinking I should be able to Google for wildflowers or something and it would pop right up. So, far I've found plants that are a little like this, but nothing that will fit, either the growth habit is different or the leaf is wrong or something.

The ones on the neighbor's property were not getting water at all, so they were very tiny with the leaf branches maybe 2-3" long and only two or three to a plant, and they were all single plants not several plants together. I figured they were just managing to hang in there with the drought we were having last summer.

Here's another pic. I think there are about 3 plants in this one. This patch of them was about 14" by about 10". The close-up photos make them look larger than they are.
