This nasty thistle like shoot with 8-10 spikes that go flying when you try to pick it out starts close to the ground and looks like small patches of clover. It's insidious and has taken over most of my neighbors yards. I caught it early this year [I think] spending hours pulling each shoot before the spikes got dry and shot out [2ft sometimes]. Got me in my eye last year before I knew what it was. DEET kills it but don't like any poison in my yard. I'm in Northern NJ and believe me, this stuff is going to spread. Beware!
