Can I put double or triple negative?! This is an awful awful nasty plant. Unshowy yellowish flowers and these leaves as in picture. It pops up everywhere as a weed. Very hard to (even though hand pulling is easy) to eradicate. Prefers richer soil (like your garden/vegetable soil!) in part sun. It has the NASTIEST seeds.... I've ever seen etc. They are "sticked" with pointed on the end and stick to you whenever you walk by. They stick to pets as well. My dog comes in with hundred on him. Maybe that's why they are called "ticks"? - Devil's - beggartick is avery apt name.
