One of my goals is to have my cultivated areas look as good as my weed patches. More pix from 2006 …
Swamp milkweed shedding seed.
Asters and goldenrod.
I have no clue what this is, other than it’s on the viny side, is very aggressive toward the end of the season, and comes in a white-flowered version as well as this reddish type. Maybe a polygonum of some kind?
And a late addition, Daucus carota aka Queen Anne’s Lace.
Update: Must be weeds are on everyone’s minds today. Human Flower Project has an ode to cleavers today.
“invisible shivers going down my spine” —
Oh, to think of Queen Anne’s Lace and goldenrod as a “weeds” again.
And is that the milkweed that monarchs go for?
TY,

J.: It’s my understanding that monarchs feed on the entire Asclepias genus including swamp milkweed (A. incarnata).
