It looked like one to me Sunnie, but maybe you have some similar looking weeds in SA that I don’t know, as we are mostly a summer rainfall area & you’re a winter rainfall area [when you get it].

 

This is SA Salvation Jane

 

It's a horrible plant but looks beautiful when it covers a full field

I know what Salvation Jane looks like, but that's in the flowering stage, it has an earlier stage they call the rosette stage, before it starts branching up & producing flower heads. I know lots of people don't like it but it's great for bees it produces 35% protein pollen & bees do great on it. Don't feed it to your birds but.

i never knew that I always thought it was a spindly lanky looking weed. Thanks for that - I have learned something new today
