Weed or wildflower... by marlboromaam

Weed or wildflower...

The beginning of what will become a cluster of yellow blooms known as Packera dubia, aka woolly ragwort. They will pop up in the front or back yards. Shot in black and white mode. More info on this native wildflower here - http://namethatplant.net/plantdetail.shtml?plant=1366
looks good mags

@phil_howcroft Thanks, Phil!

@wakelys Interesting! This has never bothered my hands and I've used the stems of blooms in wildflower arrangements on the picnic table. Nothing like a lovely wildflower arrangement in a mason jar for a cookout. =)

@marlboromaam the leaves are very different but the flower the same.

@wakelys I can imagine. Perhaps it's a deterrent for some insects and that aggravates your hands.

Wonderful in B&W. Having native wildflowers in your yard is fantastic. We have a lot of non-native weeds, some poisonous and we are trying to learn what to do with those :-(

I say that weed or wild-flower is all in the eye of the beholder. Very nice in b&w.

@milaniet Thank you, Milanie.

@larrysphotos Thanks, Larry!

@corinnec Thank you so much, Corinne. Some of the non-native plants as long as they aren't invasive can be lovely. Of course you want to get rid of anything poisonous!

@shutterbug49 Thank you! =)
