    Red Shanks is a very destructive weed. It grows in the crop. There grows a big long red stem and a small red flower and that is the way it got its name.
    Busicallain Buvoes grows in good limestone land. They grow to be four feet high. They spread all over the place if they are not pulled. It got its name because there grown a yellow flower on them.
