Enchanter's Nightshade

A common flower/burr in woods and along trails. Tiny white flowers, streaked with blue, on a stalky terminal cluster. Oval, smooth leaves that are paired and symetric on low plant. Tiny, oval burrs have micro-fuzz that sticks to anything. The seed burrs are famous for getting stuck to shoe laces.
