Gather the gold…

Goldenrod’s (Soldago nemoralis) yellow blooms are an autumn staple. These natives bloom profusely each fall. Sadly many think they are responsible for autumn allergies; Ragweed is the actual cause of these allergic reactions. Copyright 2025 Pamela Breitberg

Goldenrod’s bad rap.

Showier than Ragweed it

Gets blamed for sneezes.

Nature’s precious gold.

Cut for colorful bouquets

Enjoy its beauty.
