Wayside Weeds: Fiddleneck

These dainty but dangerous (dangerous in that they have surprising tiny little prickers that hurt like heck) little weeds grow along the away to my daughter’s school . . . every morning and every afternoon we stop to check out the progress of the wayside plants filling in the once bare places of winter. After taking a series of photos in our back yard, welcoming back many of your beloved plants, I realized we should be paying attention to the so called 'weeds' as well. Not all weeds are without merit . . . in fact many have benefits to share if anyone is willing to look and research . . . so I decided to include a few here to encourage research . . .
