Thursday Challenge: Golden

Goldenrod growing by the Raritan River in Central New Jersey

Goldenrod was growing by the Raritan River near Rutgers Gardens. Goldenrod is blamed for allergies, but that’s because it blooms at the same time as ragweed.

Thursday Challenge theme is GOLDEN (Jewelry, Coins, Sun, Leaves, Fields, Hair,…).

Next Week: MESSY (Children, Rooms, Garage, Yard, Disorganized, Hair,…)

Grace, and how wonderful of you to share some of your story with us. I'd like to hear more about your grandparents and your trip to Africa.

Your photo today has solved a mystery. I visited Oklahoma recently and brought back a cutting of a yellow flower that was growing wild all along the roadways there, because I could not identify it.

I tried it and it has been sitting on my desk ever since so that I could research it. You just did the work for me. Thank you.

I appreciate your visit and lovely comment. Thanks for stopping by.

You have goldenrod, Michelle? So interesting, to have it one's garden. I think of it as a forest or field plant.
