Name this weed!
« on: September 20, 2015, 01:52:00 PM »
Never seen this before but it has sprung up all around my archery target.  The tips are cottony like dandelion blossoms.  Looks like they'd make good wind detectors if stuffed in a film canister. What is it?

I thought milkweed had smooth leaf edges and I the seed pods are missing.

I call them Santa Clause plant because of all the fuzz that blows off of them this time of the year. It is a common weed here and grows in waste areas and along edged. I don't think it has any value.
 I don't know the common name or botanical name.

Can't tell from the pic but I would say one thistle or another.  Perhaps a nettle also.

Not sure what it is but we have them in Michigan.  They grow in disturbed soil fairly quickly.

Grab all the little fuzzy seeds and use them for wind checkers.

Use them for wind checkers AFTER you remove the seed from the fuzz!

Yes the fluffy things with the seed is how it transplants itself. Don't use them with the seed attached or you will be planting weeds everywhere.Milk weed does that too but is fairly easy to remove the seed.

You may have discovered a new species. If you did it is customary to name it after the person who discovered it. So I guess we can call it "Old Dog".
