Flax-leaved horseweed, according to iNaturalist’s identification engine.

Since the idea is to catalog nature, not gardens, I’ve found myself taking lots of photos of weeds. Some that I know, like dandelions, and a lot that I don’t.

Unfortunately, while observations of birds almost instantly attract other users who are ready to fine-tune the ID, people don’t seem as interested in identifying plants.
