Wildflowers of Ainsworth: Great Burdock Gone to Seed

(Click on image to enlarge)

I didn't feature Great Burdock last summer because I wasn't fast enough to catch it in blossom. Its flowers last only a couple of days, I think. But you don't have to be very fast to catch it in seed.

Here are the burrs just waiting to be picked up by your clothing or your dog's fur so the plant can spread its seeds far and wide.
