I thought I'd never get rid of this, then I found out it's edible, and now my chickens are making it extinct. My life's story.

We call these 'Stick Tights' or 'Spanish Needles' - they are a WEED, but are extremely attractive to butterflies! Any yard or field overgrown with these we call a 'butterfly garden'!
