This is fascinating. I wonder if the Devil's Weed has any relation to Devil Thornes that we get here in South Africa. Heavens knows I've fished enough of those out of my feet! It is amazing though, how mother nature provides for us, even from the most unexpected places! I wonder how the plant got it's name?

Same , I wonder why that name 🤔. Is the devil's thornes itchy? Because this one is itchy
Oh itchy as heck!! here's a picture of them. They have long spines and are obviously nasty to remove, but it doesn't end there. It itches painfully for quite a while afterwards :(
sounds about right! devilish little things! It's awesome though . if you think about it, that this plant has basically developed this as a defense mechanism! Isn't nature awesome ?<3
