How often do you get into the City of Nashville? Just north of the airport on Elm Hill Pike to be presice.
There is quite a bit of Dogbane and Milkweed growing on the north side of Elm Hill Pike between McGavock Pike and Donelson Pike.
Best I remember there was a good size patch of Dogbane at the intersection where Old Elm Hill turns north off of Elm Hill.
Once you know what you are looking for it is easy to spot.
Dogbane and Milkweed both have sticky white sap. Dogbane has radish colored branched stalks and yellow looking leaves.
Milkweed has green straight stalks and much larger leaves.
I spent four weeks up there last year.

Good to here from you. Where is the next water tank?
My home computer is belly-up right now. I am posting this from work.
I have never been very good with computers any way so it going to take someone else to fix it.
Posting pictures is something that requires to many clicks and such. It will take me some time to get all of that figured out.
Once my home computer is running again I will work on posting pictures.

That's not what I thought it was...and from that picture I can't recall seeing it before (dogbane). Milkweed I know when I see it...I guess it works as well.
Don't get to Nashville often...

I just googled dogbane and found examples of it and other cordage plants. What I had thought Leapingbare was describing turned out to be bullthistle...another good cordage plant I understand. I'm still not sure if I've seen dogbane from the pictures...will have to be on the lookout for it. :)
