Yikes 😳 look at this massive giant hogweed patch we stumbled onto! Old seed heads, young healthy new growth, seedlings still with cotyledons, this site has it all. Message to everyone: don’t weed-whack your hogweed! It’s dangerous and it doesn’t do anything but spread it even more! This hogweed infestation on a vacant property and undeveloped roadway is unfortunately spreading to the neighbors and is going to be a huge effort to get rid of. Help us find hogweed early if you spot it, so we can avoid this happening anywhere else. Report noxious weeds with app King County Connect or email noxious.weeds@kingcounty.gov or DM me here.

Do weeds follow me or do I follow the weeds? Shiny geranium showed up in a new planting area at my parent’s house and I just couldn’t help myself. #weedsfollowme #workingvacation #shinygeranium #geraniumlucidum #clackamascounty

It’s lesser celandine time! Early spring flowers are nice, but this one can give more grief than pleasure. It has cute little leaves and charming flowers but before you know it, you’ll have scads and scads of it popping up everywhere and forming solid mats. Lesser celandine is called Ficaria verna and is in the buttercup family. It spreads by seed, by underground tubers, and by little bulbils on the stems. It’s a determined little plant! Weirdly it dies back in early summer so you really only notice it from Jan to June. Photos by Tom Erler. #yellowflower #lessercelandine #ficariaverna #groundcover #figbuttercup
