Goldenrod and Silo

Goldenrod

Right now many fields and meadows in south-central Ontario are a sunny yellow, covered in goldenrod.

 Silo, goldenrod and fence

Not to worry, hay fever sufferers: Goldenrod is NOT ragweed, the weed with pollen that makes you (and me) feel so uncomfortable this time of year.

Ragweed has GREEN flowers

    Pretty shots of the Goldenrod and the fence. I have recently developed allergies I never had before, it is weird. Have a happy day!

    They are everywhere and add a beautiful golden sight to the fields.

    Is this a crop that the farmers grow, if so for what? It is very bright and beautiful

    I have given up the notion of trying to disabuse people that it isn't goldenrod that people are allergic to. I have also noticed that the goldenrod is already past its best date.

    I love goldenrod and this is beautiful. but i can tell you if you bring a big bunch of goldenrod into the house and fill up vases, it will make your husband of one year sick. way back in 1963 I did this and he sneezed his head off, he was allergic to it.

    Beautiful, rustic shot with the old crumbling fence. I love goldenrod too and it is so beautiful out in the fields this time of year. I allow it to grow in one of my gardens ... sadly I have some uninvited rag weed out there too ... hmmmm, no wonder my hubby is sneezing :(

    That's so funny, my dad used to always think it was the goldenrod that caused him to sneeze.

    Goldenrod does get a bad rap this time of year. Ragweed is something that gives my whole household trouble.

  46. KaySeptember 10, 2015 at 8:30 PM

    These are day-brightening shots (sans ragweed). Great composition and cool fence in the second shot. It looks as if some plant is ready to take over the silo.

    The goldenrod here is also in full bloom. I hadn't thought about the ragweed, but that's probably why my nose has been extra-leaky lately. :S

    Although Goldenrod grows quite happily in gardens here, it doesn't grow out-of-control in the wild. However much of a nuisance it is to farmers it nevertheless looks very attractive.

    Like Eileen I had no allergies in younger years but now I'm plagued with some so I think our bodies become more sensitive to these allergens the longer we are around them and the greater the exposure.
