Species driving Dougherty’s grass pollen

As regional context only — not as today’s readings — in the Midwest & Great Lakes pattern, the plants that typically shape this city’s year are spring trees, late-spring and summer grasses, and late-summer and autumn ragweed.
The Iowa allergy season guide singles out ragweed, the state’s dominant allergen, over a maple, oak and hickory spring.
