Biodiversity on My Plot: Identification of 5 Weed Species

English Daisy Bellis perennis
http://www.msuturfweeds.net/id-tool/broadleaf/

Purple Aster Aster novae-angliae
http://www.perennials.com/seeplant.html?item=1.085.180

 Goldenrod Solidago virgaurea
http://www.herbs2000.com/herbs/herbs_goldenrod.htm

Queen Anne's Lace Daucuscarota

Purple Loosestrife Lythrum salicaria
http://www.nalusda.gov/aquatics/loosestrife.shtml

Note: The web addresses beneath each label are the locations at which I matched my picture to an online picture and found the weed's scientific name. The pictures are not of the best quality because my laptop webcam reacted strangely to the lighting and environment of my plot, and quality was lost when I tranferred pictures from my phone to the computer. I can show you a few of my pictures in person or even go out and pick samples of the weeds if that would earn me more/better credit for this project; technical struggles inhibited me from giving the best portrayal of weed biodiversity on my plot.
