WILD RADISH
by Cole, Danielle, Alishea, and Brandon
Wild radish is a plant that grows and dies in one year. There are little flowers at the end of the stems. The flowers can be lavender,pink, yellow and white with purple veins on the petals. Wild radish has 2 to 8 seeds in the fruit that looks like a bird's head with a pointed beak.Wild radish grows to 4 feet tall and is a non-native. It attacks the native plants and takes over. The skeleton looks like a crane. The wild radish smells like a wild flower. The leaves can be as big as your hand or bigger. They look like the edges have been torn or pushed in. They are not smooth but are ragged.
