There are certain pursuits which, if not wholly poetic and true, do at least suggest a nobler and finer relation to nature than we know. The keeping of bees, for instance. ~ Henry David Thoreau

Re: What's this?
Velvetleaf: Abutilon theophrasti. And it is in the mallow family. Pretty leaves, tiny yellow flowers, but it's still a weed.

Re: What's this?
It is also called Indian Mallow, and used to be planted on purpose - those seed heads were used as a stamp on butter pats for decoration once upon a time. But it is so invasive that intentional planting was stopped. Yet it still thrives.....
