weed identification - southwestern Ontario stream banks
Sorry if too off topic - we have been seeing this tall weed more &
more lately along the stream banks - I would like some suggestions as to its identification - I can easliy google your suggestions to confirm. : no flowers yet ? July 11 : 3 - 6 feet tall : large variable leaves - deep leaf lobes 3 or 5 lobes : vigorous clusters of plants close together I checked my old wildflower books - no luck. I did some google searching - no luck. I have seen giant hogweed before and reported it and this isn't it. Any suggestions welcome. Thanks ; John T. --- news://freenews.netfront.net/ - complaints: --- |
