I've seen this weed many times before and I used to know the name but I just can't think of it now. It has hitchhiker type seeds similar to Cocklebur but much smaller. The flowers are white but inconspicuous. I think it's a member of Rananculaceae but that's as close as I can get. Help!

The seed pods are no more than 3mm in diameter.

Have you tasted it?

I'll only hazard a guess at allegedly edible entities...

Looks like claypot is intimate with this one.

You guys entertain the crap outta me. Thanks for the ID, claypa. That plant will make me crazy no more. And Viburnum, no I didn't taste it but if you send me a SASE I can mail you some.

What interested me about this plant was seeing it munched on more and more everyday, maybe by deer. It grows right where I park at work, so I couldn't help notice it. I thought it might be a Geum at first.
