Wildflowers of Ainsworth: Jumpseed

Jumpseed

This is it. This is my last attempt to photograph Jumpseed. I have spent way too much time over the last few weeks trying to get a good shot of this unimpressive, insignificant wildflower. A bunch of leaves around the base of the plant, then a long, thin stem shooting up about two feet, covered with tiny, and I mean tiny, white blossoms:

Nothing whatsoever interesting about it. It's not even poisonous. Also known as Virginia knotweed (no idea why).
