Hi Ken. Thanks for these great photos. This is our first sighting of this plant, and tho it may be a nuisance weed, we need these good quality photos to for our Species Sample Images.

Thanks Michael, I was surprised this was the first image of this one. Some places you go to there are often so many different weeds. The compromise I make is that I try to concentrate on getting good photos of a few plants showing what I think need for identification rather than have inadequate images of everything I see. Even if it means sitting in front of a plant for half an hour or so with the camera on a tripod waiting for a lull in the wind.

Your patience is appreciated, and a glance at the species lists will show that we have used quite a few of your photos.
