My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Can you help identify this weed/plant???

16 years ago

This appeared in an area where I had planted grass seed. I have no idea what it is - a pale lavender-whitish flower bloomed and now prickly-like monkey balls are forming. The leaves are similar to a Sycamore tree, but I know I did not plant a Sycamore. If you can solve this mystery, I would appreciate it. Thanks.
