Where is the Craziest Place You've Seen a Weed Grow? (photo) [View all]

Weeds amaze me. This is a NJ weed growing out of the division of a barrier on a six-lane NJ highway which is under construction.



I took the shot while stopped in traffic.

There was a weed like this growing out of every single segment of concrete barrier and this went on for over a mile. It amazes me because there is no soil nutrient or water to speak of, yet this weed is large and green.

I tried to identify it but couldn't. Might write the extension people at Rutgers. I think the one below it is common pigweed.

This actually is not my favorite unusual weed spot, though. That was a freaking weed TREE growing out of a second-floor window of a rundown house that we would pass on the way to the airport. It had to be 12' tall. It's gone now, though, the house having been renovated.
