Would someone describe ragweed to me? We have a plant out here that even
the goats and llama won't eat. Mom calls it "bitterweed" but I can't find
that common name listed in any of my books. Dad said he thought it might
be ragweed, but it doesn't quite match the only picture that I have of
ragweed. It has lots and lots of thin "leaves", the petals are yellow,
usually nine on a flower, and sorta heart shaped, except with three lobes
instead of two. The center is light orange. It grows to about a foot
high, and it is very bitter (wash your hands after pulling, before eating
anything with fingers-sometimes two or three times)
thanks for any info,
