A weed is just a..

flower by another name!   I don't know what this is but they have come up in the field down the street that I walked by this morning.  They have tiny flowers clustered on a tall stalk.   These were not blooming earlier this week and may be gone by the time I walk this way again.    Wildflowers are pretty amazing flora..growing wherever they want!  

I really need to by a book of southeastern US wildflowers

The extra is a closer view.
