Sparganium

Sparganium, also called bur-reed, at Eagle Marsh, Allen County.  I am calling it Sparganium eurycarpum due to the apparent doubled styles on the pistillate flowers.  Photo taken May 31, 2014.

Sparganium, also probably Sparganium eurycarpum, on the west side of Coot Slough at Celery Bog Park, June 10, 2014.  Finding this small patch near one of the observation decks is the first time I've noticed bur-reed in Celery Bog Park.

Houndstongue


Houndstongue (Cynoglossum officinale). A member of the Borage plant family (Boraginaceae). Here on display at the weed garden at the Purdue Agronomy Center (ACRE). The weed garden is open to the public. Very useful in learning all the common weeds you might encounter in Indiana.
