Button Bush


This is a strange looking plant. I have never seen it before. We found it growing the the water around the edge of local lake. If you click you can see the tiny hair-like petals surrounding the burr.
This plant is very vigorous. It is semi-evergreen. It is a perennial. At mid summer the white ball shaped flowers dry and turn into greenish brown burrs.
