Goldenrod |
| Few plants have been falsely accused of causing trouble
as often as the goldenrod. This lovely autumn flower does not cause
hay-fever. Credit the ragweed plant with instigating those ailments.
Although the goldenrod is often found in the vicinity of ragweed, it is
nothing more than a colorful precursor of the upcoming winter season.
Many varieties of goldenrod exist. Northeast Iowa Timetable: Late September - early October |
