Golden rod plants grow as weeds in North America. They are prized plants in
Europe and have become an invasive species in other parts of the world. The young leaves are edible. I took the photos above near a walkway where they were growing wild.

there are also very many of them, they always look very beautiful with the yellow flowers! I did not know they have edible leaves happy week Elke
They also get a bad reputation of causing hayfever, but it's the ragweed (without the beautiful flowers) that blooms at the same time that causes all the problems.

They are common here on gardens and also a lot grow wild. Have a good start in the new week, hugs, Valerie
i never noticed if they are here in my part of land Christine
they have edible leaves that is quite interesting .
i will try to check them out when go on summer vacation to my native village
It's strange to think that a flower could be highly prized in one country but considered an invasive weed in another.
I didn't know the leaves are edible!
reminds me of kudzu which is also edible as well. Good in one region, horrible in another
interesting
Their colour is fabulous!
They're so pretty! Interesting information about them too, thank you Christine.
it is pretty but probably should have stayed here
I love the wild edibles. Very cool.
