I think you know what I am talking about.. but I do not think they grow everywhere…The Grass burr..its a small very sharp little ball that is a seed. It hitches a ride on Socks, Shoes, and animal fur. This weed proliferates when allowed and sneaks in as a wonderful spring flower, that turns into something evil..I am not 100% sure..but this may be the plant..its an invasive and we fight it in our yard..
These shots are from the Mueller area and show that folks would be reluctant to yank these early on as they look like a delicate white wild flower… do not be seduced by evil…
