The goldenrod is in bloom again….and painting the landscape with its golden brush…

It can show up just about any where….

and covers whole fields with its golden glow….

Many people say it makes them sneezy but don’t blame the goldenrod….blame its good friend, ragweed, instead…..

and, to make matters more complicated, there are actually several different species of goldenrod, including seaside goldenrod in the photo above. Whether you find it in a field, along a marsh side or at the beach, it may look the same at first, but check the leaves and the blossom pattern to see the differences….

There are several different species in this post alone 😉
