Supporting Evidence
Photo of my evidence.
How we found out that our plant wasn't garlic mustard was we looked at the leaves and the plant that we were looking at had opposite leaves and the garlic mustard has rosette leaves. So thats how we knew our plant wasn't garlic mustard.
Photo of my evidence.
Besides the leaves being different we also noticed that the stems are different. There are a lot more leaves on the Garlic Flower than our flower.In early spring the stems stand up straight with seed pods on them, but these stems had leaves and the garlic mustard wouldn't have had leaves.
