Some little dandelion (Taraxacum officinale) seedlings to brighten your Friday. I collected these seeds with my 7yo daughter this summer for use in my weed science class & extension demos…now every time I open this envelope to plant more I’ll think of fun times with her ❤️

Weed seeds are so cool. These seeds are from field pennycress (Thlaspi arvense) …I wonder if these grooves are as unique as human fingerprints?!? That is what they remind me of 🤔

Pretty early in the new year for a plant ID already, but this one comes from hay…longspine sandbar (Cenchrus longispinus) a native, annual grass species that can cause damage to livestock mouths and is therefore undesirable.

I’m that jerk who held class on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving :/ Unfortunately with more lab sections this year it had to happen, but we did offer for them to come to an earlier section so more than half chose to do that. #CSS226L Happy Weedsgiving to all!
