Question
Growing along small stream Williston VT 9/19/17
Answer
Dear joshl, your plant is Xanthium strumarium (cocklebur), a member of the aster family. The distinctive burrs that enclose the flowers/fruits are a good method of identification (note that the burrs do not resemble Arctium [burdock]). Best wishes.
