So cute

Trifolium subterraneum (?)

I have a shady area of my "lawn" that has a completely bonkers clover patch. When it started it looked like someone dropped 500 seeds in one area. I thought that my kids had collected clover flowers and then dumped them with their dump truck. But... I don't have this anywhere for them to find. Is this how this weed grows? It's just one extremely dense mat right away?

Other info... under a maple tree. No fertilizer or sprays in use. My neighbor grows clover, but it doesn't look dense like this (it looks sparse, tall enough to mow). I don't see it anywhere else in my garden or in my neighborhood.
