Actually I took this picture a couple of weeks ago but this Bitterweed is still blooming. I really didn't have an interesting photo for this run so I decided to give this Bitterweed it's day in the sun (so to speak). I may have called this Sneezeweed in an earlier post but according to Richard Porcher's Wildflowers of SC, Sneezeweed doesn't have these leaf clusters. It is Cherokee Medicine Plant of the West used in a concoction to treat diabetes. Taken straight it may be poisonous to humans and a danger to livestock. Pretty common throughout summer. An Indigo Bunting and a Blue Grosbeak were in their usual Hackberry Tree singing away.
Had a decent run, not too hot at 76 degrees, for a time of 48:43 at 9:44 per mile.
