Golednrods on a rainy day
It's like a little bit of sunshine on a rainy day. It has been pissing for the past few days and I am loving it! :D. But its still nice to break the grey aura with some happy yellow.
Solidago canadensis
Considered an invasive weed on some parts of the world which doesn't surprise me. In September I could see it growing everywhere, where there was some space between the roads and fields. Any spot with some taller grass and bushes had the goldenrod blooming. I must admit it looked amazing, but I an imagine it can be an unwelcome guests.
Known also as Goldenrod or Canadian Goldenrod it can be found in the whole United States almost most parts of Europe.
Blooming starts in early Summer and lasts until November. The abundance of flowers during the summer (when the blooming is at it's peak) is a great source of food for all kinds of insects. I did not find any, but it was probably because of the weather and a little colder day.
Millions of messy little flowers :)
Thy grow on quite tall slender stems. There was plenty of flowers loser to the ground where the stems were bending or simply growing shorter.
But in many places the plant was taller than me. It was usually closer to some trees or bushes where the stem could lean on and was protected from the winds.
They looked great, but if this thing grows without any control, it is impossible to pass though it.
A true weed :)

Lovely yellows to look at on a day like today. It’s been raining most of the day yesterday and today. Even when it stops, my broken gutter drips for a while, so it feels like it never stops.
I don’t recall seeing this plant anywhere near where I live. It’s cute!
You are saved from the weed then :)
Though it is a pretty one.
It is! We have plenty of other weeds instead. Like Buddleia which is not even a weed. They call it also a butterfly plant. It spreads like weed though. I wanted one in my garden and one day it just self seeded there even though no neighbours have it. I let one grow to a little tree with abundant purple flowers for butterflies and bees. Then I pruned it and almost killed it, but it’s back to life this season. Now the seedlings are popping up everywhere, even in cracks on my drive. Need to stay on top of them if I don’t want a garden full of trees and nothing else 😂
