American Burnweed


 This tall plant with a fluffy dandelion head was growing in my garden.  I've been watching it grow.  Yesterday, we had wind gusts from hurricaine Henri.  It looked like it was snowing!  Those fluffly white flower heads were blowing everywhere.  Obviously, the plant is very invasive.

Today, I ripped up about ten of those plants, here and there, in my garden.  I looked them up and found out that they're called American Burnweed, or Fireweed, or Pileweed.  They're medicinal.

I don't care.  They don't belong in my garden.
