Description: Photographic study by Brian Johnston of Rumex crispus, with many fine images of flowers and seeds.
A Close-up View of the "Unsightly Weed" I doubt very much that the average observer cares much about curly dock.  It has little if any of the charisma of its wildflower neighbours.  In fact, the plant may only be noticed in late summer or early fall when the sturdy upright stems and seeds take on an unappealing dark brown, rusty colour.  During the earlier stages of its development, the green flowers are so small, that they are almost impossible to see with the naked eye.  It is only when studied up close, with magnifier or camera, that curly dock distinguishes itself as a plant with quite beautiful, and colourful structures.
