i wish i could send a pic...not computer savvy...so please settle for discription.
It looks almost like a new long-needled pine with tiny, tiny tiny yellow flowers growing at the tips. the flowers only open up in the morning, it was growing in sandy soil on a construction job site. like i said it looks like a clump of long pine needles. about 8" tall. hubby just loves to bring me some unusal things home Duh
thanks

Sounds like eupatorium capillifolium 'dog fennel', but that has white flowers.

close but no cigar! its hard to explain, except that looks like long pine needles with tiny yellow flowers at the tips. my son is visiting tomorrow, he'll show me how to send pics. but thanks for still trying!
