Springtime brings a serene display of cross-shaped, creamy flowers with four to five petals each. While small in size (under 1" each), they are abundant.
Those tiny blossoms produce dainty flat berries that stay under 1/4" across. Although humans have no use for these berries, watch as the local wildlife forages for them.
