Whenever you're cycling or hiking at this time of year, you will notice marble-sized ball-shaped flowers of green turning dark pink.
They're very pretty at this time of year.
They finally turn brown.
In the brown stage, they start looking to hitch a ride.
Now they become sticky. They stick to your skin, to your clothes, your boot-laces, your gloves, your hair, and/or your dog if one is along for the ride/run.
The plant is called burdock.
The dog then becomes a burdog.
Instead of cycling/hiking next day, you are grooming...that is, pulling hidden sticky burrs off a long-haired dog!
Happy burdockless trails to you.
