Energetic sidewalk growing plant! Maybe dandelion? Maybe something else! I worried it might be mint escaped but it is not.

Cool! Thank you bot! <3

Looks like a type of mint. If you say it isn't, I assume that you smelled it to find out?

It's definitely not dandelion.

[–] RebekahWSD@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Not mint! Both this bot and inaturalist say burnweed!

[–] scutiger@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I have bots blocked so I guess I didn't see that.

Ah, okay! It says burnweed with a likeliness of 97.32 percent which is really really really high for it!
