Well, the friend or foe mystery is, I guess, solved. The mystery plant has bloomed and it’s not one I’m familiar with.
It has these insignificant maroon-colored, cup-shaped flowers and, well, that’s about it.
I STILL haven’t dug it out of the garden but I blame that more on running out of time to do everything this weekend than anything else. Still, I guess it’s time for it to go.
By the way, I still have not been able to identify is, so if you recognize this weed/plant, I’d love to know what you think it is.
Here are the defining characteristics:
- 4-5 feet tall
- Toothed leaves, set opposite one another
- Square stem
- Insignificant maroon flowers
That’s about all I can tell you. Now, my shovel and I have a date with a few mystery plants.
