Same here.  I sure do look at Goldenrod a lot differently than I did a few years ago.

Goldenrods been blooming here for about a month and the loosestrife started about a week ago.  Looks like we might have a banner fall flow....

I found goldenrod blooming about 40 miles east of here, but have not yet found any in my local area.
