What is another word for Spanish Needles?
Pronunciation: [spˈanɪʃ nˈiːdə͡lz] (IPA) 
Spanish needles, also known as bidens alba, are resilient weeds that can grow up to three feet tall. They are commonly found in gardens, roadsides, and other disturbed areas. If you're looking for synonyms for this plant, you may come across terms such as beggar-ticks, devil's needles, and pitchforks. This is because the plant's seed heads have a distinctive two-pronged shape, which resembles a pitchfork, and can stick to clothing, fur, or skin. The plant is also called butterfly needles, feather balls, and cobbler's pegs. Regardless of the name, Spanish needles can have a negative impact on gardens by crowding out desirable plants and reducing biodiversity.
