Devil’s Beggarticks

=== Entry ===
Devils Beggarticks (Bidens frondosa) sometimes also could be referred to ad Bidens bush or wood aster, is a native wildflower to our region. They are quite common. They have 3-5 leaflets. while they typically grow with a single stem, some can grow multiple. These bushy weeds grow 3-5 feet tall, becoming very tree like. They branch like a tree. In September, these weeds develop tiny orange flowers. These flowers bloom for several days. They have male and female parts. They are pollinated by bees and flies. They will eventually become fruit that sticks to animals, people, clothing, and other things. They are also wind dispersed. Since these plants are annuals, they die in October after flowering and fruit production had completed. The leaves turn orange, yellow or purple, then turning brown. The whole plant will eventually die including the roots. The seeds produced this year will grow new plants next year.
