For the first month and a half of spring you get this really nice coverage of toadflax and sorrel like in the pic (which was from some time in april). By about the start of May though it begins to play-out and you have to mow it.
If you mow back the sorrel a bit early might pick up a week or two of dandelions, blue eyed grass, primrose, and vervian- and some asters in places, but eventually the Bahia is going to start dominating and it will go to seed every three days or so and will get out of hand fast and you just have to keep mowing it back. You get stuck with a choice between the Bahia getting out of control or mowing back the asters/vervian/primrose. Also if you don't eventually mow you are going to get brambles, greenbriar, persimmons seedlings, live oaks, water oaks, red cedars, cherry, etc. popping up in places you don't really want them. Obviously other regions will be different though.
