I don't have a clue as to what this plant is, do you? :) I picked it up from the side of the road. If it is something besides a weed, I will be going back with a shovel to dig some up... :grinnnn:

Thank you, Sarah. :NewHug: I didn't have a clue what to google, but you found it for me...

Do I want to go back with a shovel? :grinnnn:

Is it in a safe place? It'd be way easier to wait for seeds.  :smile:

It is on the sides of the road the runs behind our home, Sarah. The county mows from time to time...:)

If it is a desirable plant, I will go dig a couple up and transplant or pot them up. :grinnnn: I was afraid it was an invasive weed that would take over the place... :giggle:

Even if it reseeds, it should be easy to pull where you don't want it. :)
