    This looks more like a sedge than a cocklebur to me. There should be no separations in the spikes, and I see no hooks that are used for "hitchhiking". I'm pretty sure I can see grass-like leaves in the background too?

      Ohhhh, thanks Lisa! I can be quite clueless with plants. I've removed the ID for now and will check out Carex lurida. Posted 4 years ago
