Ambrosia trifida L. or our native Giant ragweed. It grows 5-10 feet tall and causes allergies just like the smaller (native) common ragweed. I’m seeing it everywhere right now. Hard to miss!

Introducing you to Circaea canadensis or broadleaf enchanter’s nightshade. A native perennial that produces bur-like capsules that are almost impossible to remove from Willow 😞. “The genus name Circaea is derived from Greek mythology and refers to the Greek goddess and enchantress, Circe, known for her knowledge of herbs.”

I almost showed you what looked like a pitch black American mink. He was in my north yard foraging and when he saw me, headed for the hills…or the bushes. So beautiful!
