roadsidia  /rōd·sīd·ē·ə/

when i first heard the term roadsidia to refer to the abundance of weeds and wildflowers that grow on the sides of american freeways, i was smitten.  it’s the perfect word.  this spray of grass seeds is an example of roadsidia.  i found it roadside.  a tall weed grass heavy with seeds.  it may be wild oat grass, but i am not at all sure about that.  but i am sure that it belongs to the category roadsidia.

possibly wild oat grass
