Weed of the Week: Myrtle Spurge

Euphorbia myrsinites, also known as donkey tail, burro tail, or myrtle spurge, is native to southeastern Europe and Asia Minor but was brought to Utah as a drought-tolerant ornamental. Unfortunately, it is a highly invasive weed that spreads quickly and crowds out native vegetation in our foothills and open spaces. The milky sap is toxic […]

Flower of the Week: Poppy
