Mary has birdfeeders along the porch with sunflower seeds and the birds always throw lots of seeds landing on the ground in front of the porch and grow. This year the sunflowers grew, and one outgrew the rest. We thought it was a large, different sunflower and kept waiting for it to bloom. It got so big; it topped the roofline. We saw these bud pads everywhere but no flowers. So, we decided to Google it ..
and found out it was actually a giant ragweed plant.
Impressive but deadly. It was destroyed the next day....Yep, weed was gone ...
