Description of specimen

Alternate simple leaves on a hairy erect stem. After pinching a leaf white milky sap is exuded. Showy bracts that look like yellow flowers.

Commentary

None

Location

802 SW Adams Ave has a driveway where my car is parked. My boyfriend Alaric spotted it at the end of the driveway on the left, and we noticed there’s some type of spurge growing in the small garden to the right, past the trash cans. It’s also popping up wherever it can in the pavement cracks.
