Butterfly weed is a very bright type of milkweed that is simply irrisistable to bees butterflies and other pollinating insects.
My husband and I were working in the back yard when we hear/saw this plane go over very low. At first we though he may have had engine trouble and was looking for a local airport for an emergency landing. We soon figured out that he had "zeroed" in on a corn field about a quarter mile down our road and was now spraying a small area repeatedly. We are assuming that after numerous passes that he had found some weed being grown in the center of the field.
He did at least keep up his circling and spraying until I could get in the house and get my camera and click off some shots.
This one was cropped slightly, shot at 200mm, F11, 1/1500 and ISO of 800.

There is a weed invasion happening on the Rogue River, and the federal government is getting strategic about battling the threats to public land.
Two weeks ago, about a dozen botanists from the BLM and the U.S. Forest Service rafted the Wild and Scenic Rogue in remote southwest Oregon to spray, pull and wrench as many weeds as possible.
Yes, a weed wrench is a thing.
The timing of the river trip was key, going after the invasive plants when they are flowering and before most of the seeds come.
One noxious weed, Dyer’s woad, can have a thick taproot that extends 5 feet deep and has the ability to produce a lot of seed.
“One plant left on site could easily be a hundred plants next year,” said BLM botanist Stacy Johnson.
Hand or wrench-pulled weeds were bagged and thrown in the rafts to carry out, while others, like Japanese knotwood, can only be killed with herbicide.
In some areas of the Wild and Scenic Rogue River, of which the team covered about 35 miles, they found untouched weeds that were multiple feet taller than the botanists.
“There are always more invasive species than we have time, really, to remove,” said Johnson.
Scotch broom, French broom, Spanish broom, shiny geranium, yellow star thistle, knapweed, yellow water primrose and parrots feather are among the other noxious weeds removed by the BLM-USFS team.
If left to proliferate, the noxious weeds would outcompete the native vegetation, taking over the beaches, gravel bars and all the other features that make the river and surrounding wilderness distinctive. The weeds also affect wildlife by decreasing food options and water quality.
“There are a lot of non-native plants out on the river,” said Kailey Clarno, district botanist for the Forest Service. “We go after species that are making a large impact on the river.”

Third of the season series : weed, eg autumn. I've been looking at it listening to Steppenwolf's Magic Carpet Ride. And it was impressive...
Growing out of a crack on our front steps, right by our newly planted containers.

Yes, I know it isn't really a weed but a Japanese Anemone :September Charm. It grows in my garden like a weed taking over everywhere growing larger and taller than the tag promised.

Since this delicate and pretty weed is so green, it would look unreal. Decided to go ahead and push to blue and purple because you know my weakness that way.
I don't think I've seen this one before - a number of seeds coming from the head, each with multiple branches - so far just like a dandelion. But instead of those just branching freely and independently, in this one the form a sort of "web" around the head.
