    I'm thrilled to have discovered this site.

    Lately I've wanted to know more about the common weeds/grasses in the Crescent Beach/White Rock area where I live. Took a walk in Blackie Spit today and hopefully I can get some guidance. I think the first is white sweet clover.

    What are the names of these plants?

    Definitely, not carrot - the latter has horribly looking seeds:
