| Annual Trampweed is a native of South America. It has become a common weed of lawns and gardens in the Mobile area. It is a small, sprawling plant, easily overlooked until the thistledown seedheads appear. Annual Trampweed is a member of the Aster family. These plants were photographed in my garden in mid April. |
