Thimble weed may be
easily confused with:
- White Avens
Thimble weed has a larger and showier flower. Look carefully at the leaves - those of thimble weed are so deeply lobed that they almost look like they're divided, while the lower leaves of the avens are truly divided.
We started out as wildflowers from the bicycle trails of western Pennsylvania, but we've
grown!
