Three weeks ago we started noticing a plant blooming in the wetlands away from the driveway. I used my binoculars to look at it to see what it was. We first thought it was a butterfly bush, but realized the leaves and blossoms were wrong for that. Finally my husband waded into the tall grass and briars to spray bittersweet, briars and mile a minute and picked a stalk of the plant.
Does anyone know what it is? Is it an aster?
in sweden we call it tistel. you can google it.
ReplyDeleteI don't think it is because the leaves are not the same, It's growing like a bush. The stalks are woody not anything like a thistle.
ReplyDeleteI think it is in the aster family, some type of knapweed (an invasive species). Maybe
ReplyDeleteSpotted Knapweed?
