Spanish Needles

Description:

Wildflower I found growing in the backyard. Googled white wildflower Florida. This little guy was one of the first options. http://www.floridata.com/ref/b/bide_alb..... It's called Spanish Needles aka Bidens alba. I can't find much information on the plant, there is no wikipedia page or any other source where a ton of info is offered about it. The seeds of this plant are sometimes referred to as beggarseeds because of their innate ability to attach themselves to passing animals and humans. Annoying little 3/4 inch stick-like seeds stick to clothes, fur, anything they can come into contact with. Cute little flower, however.
