Göteborg, September 2nd, 2002: Buffalo-bur

Solanum rostratum
Taggborre i oktober

Yellow flowers, no sisymbriifolium
the morning of September 7th

something prickly
something smooth
- more findings
in the lawns of the Next Block

by sidesight
and happenstance
while showing the domain
to friends



Eva Ekeblad, 2002


The Buffalo-bur ID
may yet be subjected to correction
when the flowerbuds open
- as I hope they will -
in its new residence,
in a pot on my windowsill.
Taming the Buffalo Bur.

- this is with thanks to Birgitta Herloff and Eva Andersson
for serving as advisors,
and to Erik Ljungstrand as Botanicus prostratus.
