Nodding Beggarticks - odd name, pretty wetlands wildflower

And now, a wildflower that has found a place to establish itself in the city of Regina, SK — Nodding Beggarticks, growing in a marshy spot along a local lake. (And, fortunately, still in its flower form, so no worries yet about its barbed seeds...)
