Weekly Blast Boo-boo!

Well, we all make mistakes and I made one this morning in the Weekly Blast that was posted. Please read on:

The yellow plant you’ve been seeing is likely NOT garlic mustard its yellow rocket (Latin name Barbarea vulgaris). The garlic mustard that I noted has white flowers, not yellow. Yellow rocket (an invasive plant originally from Eurasia and South Africa) has these clusters of bright yellow flowers that you are seeing this spring. The correct part of my narrative was that farmers find this plant particularly problematic in their fields, competing with crops and pastures. It is even known to cause digestive problems in cattle.

I apologize for my bad botany. Whip out your “INaturalist” next time to make sure I’m correct! Respectfully, Sharon
