The Buffalo Bur

This one started making it's first appearance early in the Summer but has become prominent in September. As you travel the roads it's you can see it as a low growing bushy plant with lots of yellow flowers. It's hard to distinguish from the Lindheimer senna from a distance, which is also growing this time of the year.
