Cleavers is actually a very pretty plant especially when it has something to help prop it up such as the chainlink fence in this photo. Its foliage is such a refreshing green and its leaf arrangement is nice. See my comments about its uses as an herbal remedy and be amazed.

Note the hooks on the square stem and the toothed margins on the leaves; its name is well-deserved

I searched and searched to find what this weed was because it caused a horrible sick reaction.

Seriously, don't touch this plant. It causes horrible itching, burning, and hives!

The tiny flowers, so small they are very difficult to photograph in habitat. This was a small piece brought back to photograph under better conditions.
