I was hard pressed to find dead winter weeds. My husband is so diligent at keeping the property cleaned up that it is practically devoid of anything dead, but I did find some dead Yellow Star Thistle (centaurea solstitialis) from last year.
I did though, find several green weeds that are wintering over. One of which I think is the Common Wild Radish - (raphanus sativus)
Another might be common grounsel-senecio vulgaris. It is pictured here with something I have always called screw grass. I call it that because after the purple little flowers go to seed and the seed pods burst, the seed pod break out in fours and quickly corkscrew. I have found several starting to burrow into my dogs paws.
I also found a weed that I have always called Indian tobacco, but when I googled it the picture I found did not match. I tried searching several sites to find what it was, but had not luck.
If anyone knows I would love to learn what it is really called.
Star Thistle...we had to hand pull it from our property to get rid of it.
ReplyDeleteI think the second photo is wild radish...we have it blooming in many places around our neighborhood.
Thanks for your link,
