Burdock
Burdock forms many pesky burs. The Latin name is: Arctium minus. A member of the sunflower family, it resembles the thistle flowwer. The palant begins with basal leaves that ressemble fuzzy rhubarb, then sprouts a stout, branching stem that reaches from 1 to 6 ft., with flowering branchlets. The flower is a collection of tubular, pink bloooms about 3/8 to 5/8 in. long, nesting among enclosing phyllaries that have recurved tips. These curved tips produce the clinging effect of the bur. In the garden, this is a troublesome weed. 9-5-65.
