Identifying Lawn Weeds: Pictures Needed

A New Jersey gardener sent photos of two weeds in a new ryegrass lawn—one flowering, one not—but images didn't transmit.

Remote ID Impossible Without Photos

Weeds are identified by **flower structure**. Regional variation is huge.

Action Plan

• Email photos to **rleehern@hotmail.com** with "Plant ID" subject.
• Or take **fresh samples** to **local independent garden centers** (multiple if needed).
• Chain store staff often lack weed ID skills.

One person's weed is another's wildflower—context matters.
