Thimbleweed - Anemone cylindrica
Thimbleweed is an upright plant with cylindrical clusters of fruits (achenes). When mature, the achenes have white, puffy tails, and the cluster releases them to the wind. Its root system produces a substance, protoanemonin, that inhibits growth of other plants.
Habitat: It was near the edge of a pond in an overgrown area.
