Botany: entire-leaved gumweed, part 2

Self-tutoring about local plants: the tutor notices entire-leaved gumweed’s prominence this year.

The following is by my understanding.

I mention entire-leaved gumweed in my post from July 13, 2025. It’s an attractive aster with bright yellow flowers. Telling are its round, sticky green orbs that are covered in outgrowths.

I used to see entire-leaved gumweed mainly, perhaps only, when I was near the seashore. However, this summer, I notice it growing along roadsides and other untended places well away from the shore.

Interesting, eh?
