Happy first day of February! Spring should be on the way in not too long a time in my area. It's also Wildflower Wednesday here on the Blog. Today's image is a bit different. I took tis photo very recently. This is Canada Goldenrod in winter after the flowers have dried. The stalks stay green for quite a while into winter. It normally blooms July through September. It is falsely accused of causing Hay Fever. It's pollen is spread by insects and not the wind.
It is a very colourful plant that as you say get a bad rap. If I remember correctly it blooms at the Sametime ragweed is spreading allergies.
ReplyDeleteWe are on the train going through Jacksonville Florida right now. About 4 hours behind schedule
But considering it is a high of -25c tomorrow at home we're not complaining if we are a little late.
205 cars, 535 passengers on the 46 car train, including 30 car carriers.
Yes, I think our Ragweed blooms by September.
ReplyDeleteNeat! My in-laws have taken that train before with their car I believe. Yes, much warmer I am sure.
