Happy Summer Solstice! This sunny flower is called bighead knapweed around here and sadly spreads readily into mountain meadows, crowding out native wildflowers. But in the Caucasus Mountains it is a subalpine wildflower. It also has a long history as a garden flower in North America and Europe. According to Wikipedia it was planted at Thomas Jefferson’s garden at Monticello. Before it was quarantined in Washington state it was a popular flower for bouquets sold at farmers markets. What are some other big yellow flowers we can substitute? Share your ideas here!

How many bags of giant hogweed can you stuff in your car? It’s all in a days work for noxious weed specialist Allison Bachner. #clowncar #hogweedbagged #gianthogweed

Respect for giant hogweed! In spite of the problems, it is mighty and really cool looking. If it didn’t spread so much and cause such nasty burns on unsuspecting people it would make a pretty awesome addition to a garden! Allison nipped this patch in the bud so to speak thanks to a report from a concerned neighbor. Thank you everyone who has been sending in reports of giant hogweed. It’s really too dangerous to ignore and we appreciate the help locating new patches. Photos from Allison Bachner. #giantflowers #gianthogweed #respect #toxicplants #heracleummantegazzianum
