Getting more prelevant.

This weed showed up about 6 or so years ago. I thought someone called it Fire Weed on the old forum, but when I google fire weed, it doesn't show this plant.
Seems to handle light shade but will also spread into plots. Very shallow rooted and easy to pull.
Its yet another weed that has floaters (for spreading seeds I presume). It hasn't flowered here yet so I don't have flower pics.
Deer don't browse it.
Any ideas?

OK, Mr. Tap ………………. How long have you been growing opium poppies ?? There are 6 of us DEA agents watching you …...……...… .

I actually haven't seen that weed before. I'll be interested to see what it is. There's always something new to find.

I am very curious too. I just found this same weed in my clover plot last night.

My new App says it’s American burnweed. Be interesting to compare when it flowers.

We have a winner. It's native so it's a little easier to accept. This link says that it spreads by seed, so I must have had a lot of floaters drift in. I keep pulling it but it just keeps popping up in adjacent spots. I started to wonder if it was spreading by roots or rhizomes...apparently not.
Thanks Rit.

The poppy plants distract attention away from the meth lab.

Damn I loaded your photo into the App and it gave me a few options. Glad it worked out.

Another name for it is Pilewort.

Last year it was everywhere around here and this year you hardly see it. That's not uncommon with some annuals.

Try to be watching when the seed start turning loose. The least little breeze will carry them hundreds of yards. And you can see it very easily.

Yeah, just like Canada Thistle Except that I don't despise Pilewort/burnweed like I do thistle. When I see millions of thistle floaters in the air, I feel like crying.

I’ve seen it come in big after a burn then pretty much gone the next year.

What app do you use?

It’s called “PictureThis” It isn’t always right but if you adjust picture angles and lighting you can get different results. I would say it has been right more than it has been wrong.
