Roadside multiflora roses are blooming here now. I have a tough time not bringing a piece of this invader home... but I won't.

Yeah, it's understandable why this one is everywhere.
Happened on this link for wildflowers of Alabama:
http://uswildflowers.com/wfque...

Although Alabama has the very best weeds(!!,) just change the last 2 letters to whatever state to see wildflowers known to be in other states.

I like the US wildflower sight too.

When blooming, I'll see Rosa multiflora growing along fence lines around here and it sure is pretty!

Coreopsis... I have this wild-collected specimen in a pot...
Last year I divided it and set it in an herb bed... only to see the voles eat my babies... rescued one...

There's usually a patch of these alongside a street in Macon which I enjoy... but the d*mn mowers got them this year....

I never knew roses could be invasive. That's a worry.

In north Queensland recently, I was quite stunned to see the success of the invasive Singapore Daisy (Sphagneticola trilobata). It was the major plant of creek banks and beach fronts. Quite extraordinarily depressing. It smothers everything on the ground. It is a class three pest plant here - supply and sale is prohibited.

Your first plant with the white wand-like flowers looks like Galax urceolata.

I am wonderfully immune to chiggers and scrub itch. Ticks I don't like at all.
