When I took the above photos a week or two ago, the thought had occurred to me that maybe, just maybe, this is ragweed. But, I thought, it's such a pretty "wild flower," and look at the wasp enjoying the blossom. Oooh, let's see how close we can get! Time passed, and just for the heck of it yesterday, I went to ask.com and typed "What does ragweed look like?" Sure enough, I had been within inches of the dreaded weed, with my persnickety sinuses, at that!
I always feel a day I've learned something is a good day, but why couldn't ragweed be gnarly and a putrid shade of brownish-green?
Til next time ~~

Vickie, there are so many weeds that look beautiful aren't there and some gorgeous to photograph. Then there are the ones that are a downright nuisance or dangerous to boot! Enjoyed reading about your trips. :)
