Hello - I was just tenting in NL.  There is a plant blooming along the ditc=
hes right now which has even found it's way into the burnt cape reserve.  I=
t has a compound leaf and a white fluffy flower spike.  I haven't seen it i=
n NS yet but it has found it's way into the ditches in Labrador near the fe=
rry.  Just wondering if anyone knows what this is and if it is native to NL=
 or invasive.  this is the first time I've been to NL at this time of year =
so hadn't seen it before.
