I love garden surprises and Puget gumweed is a fantastic surprise. The seedlings looked like boring dandelion clones for the longest time, but then suddenly they shot up this year with long stalks and thistle-like flower buds with the gum on top that I assume led to their nickname. And the flowers are beautiful yellow daisies! I am so happy to have started these and to have a few in the native plant garden blooming at a time when almost nothing else is flowering.
