That spikey stuff growing out of the top of the thicket? It’s giant ragweed (AKA horseweed). It’s growing about ten feet from my patio, and it’s trying to kill me.
As I was walkong to my car after work, I saw this weird seedpod lying on the sidewalk. It’s a teeny tiny itty bitty comet! It doesn’t take much to make me happy.
I fail at flower ID today. Thankfully someone on Facebook wins at Teh Googles and was able to identify this one for me. (Yes, it’s another from the butterfly/bee mix that I stupidly threw away the packet for.)
I scattered some butterfly mix seeds, then threw away the package. Stuff I cannot identify has finally started to bloom. This was one of them. A kind soul on Facebook told me it’s bachelor button. Such a pretty flower!
