It's the largest plant genus because what looks like one flower is in reality lots and lots of flowers, and this makes the genus highly successful at propagation.Snowbrushhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00436087215476479042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3321084510373631678.post-22338667270720394902014-08-30T11:46:33.930-05:002014-08-30T11:46:33.930-05:00That weed is the KING of weeds.

I type in "plant, northern ontario, tall, pink flower, broadleaf..." or whatever details stand out. Then I look through all the pictures and open the ones I think are a match. It works not too bad. Occasionally one evades me, but most are pretty good.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11557512606416161272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3321084510373631678.post-51479130630675399942014-08-28T01:15:30.579-05:002014-08-28T01:15:30.579-05:00EC,
