Tarweed Bud Glistening Droplets of Resin
1 more picture above--and to see more pictures of Tarweed blossoms, click on the inset picture and roll your mouse over the inset pictures! :)
This bud will open up into the magnificent yellow flowers I shared a few days ago, but I wanted to show you why this flower is called "tarweed". Those droplets are very beautiful but they are are very sticky and this resin rubs off onto anything that it comes in contact with. The entire plant is covered with resin droplets and it's impossible to avoid getting goo all over your clothing if you should walk past a plant. Livestock in fields full of tarweed will accumulate so much resin that it builds up into a dark brown tar-like coating that does not wash off with water! You must use a solvent like "Goo Gone" or a citrus-based solvent to get it off! Horrible stuff to remove! So when tarweed begins growing, I won't let the dogs out into the meadow anymore. On top of being sticky, tarweed STINKS! Sometimes it smells like fresh lemons, but usually it stinks like rotten citrus, ewwww!!! Still, the flowers are absolutely amazing and I'm happy to put up with its problems!
