Sticky Groundsel, Göteborg, July 4th, 2001


Senecio viscosus

Klibbkorsört
i september, i december, i maj och i oktober

This warm and sunny day
is the first that I see open flowers
of the Sticky Groundsel

while the Common one has had them
for roundly a month...

Common Groundsel   and   Hedge Mustard

Senecio vulgaris

Korsört i oktober,
i januari, i maj
och i september

Sisymbrium officinale
Vägsenap i september,
i december och i mars

And so today is for parking lot trivia
- including the ubiquitous Hedge Mustard.

Now
in spite of closeness
and light winds
the difficulty of capturing
a feathery ball of groundsel seed for the scanner
is comparable to transporting hoarfrost indoors
