  • American burnweed

    A plant noticed going to seed near a river. I read it is considered a pioneer species, thriving at sites where fires or other disturbances have occurred. An impressive American weed.

  • Riverside

    A beautiful time beside the mill river is when all the plants turn to seed. Even the weeds and scrub are handsome. During the summer the flowers and moisturizer sustained bees and butterflies.

  • Mouse-eared hawkweed

    For years I’ve been mislabeling this little flower a dandelion. Why? Because I wasn’t paying close attention to the differences in shape. This lovely weed has squarish petals, compared with the dandelion’s, which are thinner. I apologize, little weed. My bad.
