The sandy lot where I took the photo had many plants three years ago, just two this year. I saw the tumbleweeds rolling about that first year and expected to subsequently see the plant along the roads, but never did. It disappeared from the other two sites I found it, both being sandy roadsides. So it doesn't seem to be aggressively invasive, at least around here.Jacqueline Donnellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13390548854179921303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2662118368553266438.post-54047438464552057492009-09-08T10:34:52.018-04:002009-09-08T10:34:52.018-04:00HM...what an interesting plant!

Maybe it's not too ambitious and is inclined to stay in highly specialized sandy areas.Ellen Rathbonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17684750034177425795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2662118368553266438.post-49894043345955484242009-09-07T22:08:20.608-04:002009-09-07T22:08:20.608-04:00Ha Ha!

It would even be somewhat close to the truth, because when these fat roly-poly tumbleweeds go flying down the road on the wind, they do kind of remind you of what pigs might look like flying.Jacqueline Donnellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13390548854179921303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2662118368553266438.post-16717061857562659832009-09-06T19:25:09.192-04:002009-09-06T19:25:09.192-04:00I just can't take it...I have to say it...
Whe...I just can't take it...I have to say it...<br /><i>When pigs fly!</i><br />I know, very silly of me. But as soon as I saw "winged pigweed" I knew it was inevitable. It's out of my system now, promise. ;)swamp4mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03500364141244115390noreply@blogger.com
