Weeds… by rhoing

Weeds…

But I still want to know what they are. Combined with not-many-frames-today and this is my post. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

With iNaturalist’s Seek app, I at least have a suggestion, genus Euphorbia, with which to perhaps approach my master gardener friend and/or my plant systematics friend. But first I will wait to see what any users at iNaturalist may have to say. It looks like Euphorbia prostrata, or Euphorbia supine or Euphorbia maculata: so many possibilities, even within the genus!

It seems I may have posted this weed previously, “The other one [Filler]”, but that was more than a year and a half ago. How am I supposed to remember?? ;)

Can't help you with identifying this weed, but it looks like it could be invasive. I seem to attract weeds.

In recent years, these plants have invaded our neighborhood. They are very pervasive, and their root system can be very deep and wide. We pull them whenever we see them so they do not take over like a ground cover. They don't seem to grow in thick grass, but anywhere else they will.

PS We call them spurge. Purge the spurge, Tom. Others may call them milkweed, but those don't attract monarchs, so no redemption there.

A delicate plant

It does look like spurge. It has a really lovely shape though.
