smerchly Posted June 26, 2022 Report Share Posted June 26, 2022 I have been watering this strange plant in my small garden as it looked like a melon of some sort . I noticed a yellow flower (blossom) and some very sharp and sturdy spines (prickers) on it today . I was thinking it may be a hogweed ?? But I don't think it is & I have never seen this plant before ..... Anyone know what this thing is ?? Click on the pic.to enlarge ....

This wild weed would not be kind to your lips . lol I finally found what it is on the www . Some say it's a nasty plant & get rid of it . Some say the seeds are eaten by doves . The flower looks much like our "night bloomers" that open ar dusk every night . Here's a short vid . about this plant ..... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qorpdi1JZtA&ab_channel=ABC15Arizona Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smerchly Posted June 26, 2022 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2022 Just now, Tyler0420 said: Ya that thing looks nasty I wouldn't want to see that prickly plant lining our fishing shorelines . Those tall grasses are really taking over much of my old spots now . We pay a big price for what we call world trade and we will see more of our environment destroyed , like our ash trees . I found another smaller one in my front flower garden , don't know where they came from ... it will be pulled today ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deetch Posted June 26, 2022 Report Share Posted June 26, 2022 I think that weed is a Thorny Buffalo Burr. smerchly 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jwl1 Posted July 7, 2022 Report Share Posted July 7, 2022 I could share some pics...but then I would need my hunting license because in about October I would be having to sit in my backyard all day with a shot gun 😲😱🤔😉🤣 Tyler0420 and smerchly 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bass-turd Posted July 11, 2022 Report Share Posted July 11, 2022 I did landscaping for a couple years about a decade ago and I've definitely pulled a number of those guys out.....extra pair of gloves or a shovel makes it easier smerchly 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smerchly Posted July 11, 2022 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2022 My raspberry bushes were prickly enough for me . That thorny plant would make a good "fence" around the other "weed" plants , I'm sure . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
