Might be yellow rocket...although I am not totally convinced.. I see a couple
brassica like lower leaves in that pic.. hmmmmm

Wooddust or MUHunter may weigh in here.

Pic of Yellow Rocket...

 

[Thayer]

The flowers are a bit different that the yellow rocket...

It almost looks like some of the brassica family, but I don't ever recall Tim planting any. Luckily, it is not in my plot...I am just curious. The MDC page is pretty weak...I am searching the net for better sites.

thanks guys:dancin:

Don't think the leaves are right.

Flowers aren't either. On the plant in question it has little bells for flowers.

whatever it is, phenoxy herbicides like 2,4-D ect will bang'em.

The flowers can sinesce a bit over time OR have a cluster-like
growth habit that may not be similar to what is expected.

jmacs picture does show expanded individual flowers, but it
also looks like there are clusters that arent as expanded.

Perhaps, the plants that thayer posted dont have fully expaned inflorescence yet..

Here's some plants to look at. I'm going to Google now. I'm still thinking some type of mustard...
Some common species of mustard in Missouri, in addition to wild mustard, are field pennycress, tansy mustard, yellow rocket and Virginia pepperweed.

Called Buttercup..It grows during lots of rain. After it dries up and gets warmer they'll go away....
