"It's not me, it's you." - Goldenrod

Let's break the blame cycle. Goldenrod (Solidago spp.) does not cause hay fever and is unlikely to cause allergies. They are insect-pollinated and have heavy, sticky pollen that does not travel well in the air. Common Ragweed (Ambrosia artemisiifolia) is one of the worst irritants for allergy sufferers since it's primarily wind-pollinated. Both goldenrods and ragweeds bloom at the same time, but their flowers are very different (goldenrods are yellow, and ragweed are green). Goldenrod leaves are also unlobed, while ragweed has lobed leaves.

But wait, there's more! Here are other reasons to love goldenrods:

🌾 There are more than 25 species of goldenrod native to Ontario

🌾 Goldenrod supports more than 100 species of moths and butterflies in their larval stage. It's considered a keystone pollinator plant

🌾 More than 35 species of bees are specialist feeders on goldenrod pollen

🌾 Goldenrod blooms in late summer into the fall, and its nectar is an important late-season food source for pollinators

There are several ways to distinguish Queen Anne's lace from poison hemlock:

1. Stem: Poison hemlock has a smooth, hairless stem with purple spots or streaks, while Queen Anne's lace has a hairy stem that is not spotted or streaked.

2. Leaves: The leaves of Queen Anne's lace are finely divided and hairy, while poison hemlock leaves are lacy and smooth.

3. Flowers: Queen Anne's lace flowers are white and have a flat-topped cluster, while poison hemlock flowers are also white but are arranged in small, umbrella-shaped clusters.

4. Smell: Queen Anne's lace has a sweet, carroty smell when crushed, while poison hemlock has a musty, unpleasant odor.

5. Location: Poison hemlock is more likely to grow in wetter areas such as ditches or near streams, while Queen Anne's lace is more commonly found in fields and along roadsides.

Remember, it is important to err on the side of caution and never ingest any plant that you are not 100% certain is safe to eat.
