Nice. I agree with Doc - Polygonum sp. (knotweeds, smartweeds) - there are hundreds of related species. Could well be Polygonum pensylvanica although I think it is called Persicaria pensylvanica now. Polygonaceae (Buckwheat family) as Doc pointed out. "Polygonum" means "many jointed" referring to the stems.

Thanks, Mike. I remember 'Buckwheat' from TV back when I was young. He was a great actor.

Wow! Glad you posted the dime for comparison. The blooms would have looked huge otherwise. Fantastic shots, Sippy, and a lovely wildflower!

Thanks, Donna. My passion is in the 'world of the small' and sometimes it works best if I can provide a frame of size reference when I share my work. I'm always pleased when I hear that you enjoyed seeing my posts.
