Nice janice ,i need to get brushing up on proper names ,I have no idea at times what plant you all are talking about then ,I see a photo...arrgg on my part ..I have a lot of the plants you talk about but I know slang names..hehehe..ah oh well.
I had a variety of purple loosestrife ,I dug up and burned,it was on the do not plant list here . What a shame that it`s soo invasive . Taking over wetlands,I ve also noticed Russian Olive popping up everywhere along the roadsides here,it is invasive too??? and a certain Bradford pear im also seeing growing in the ditches.Kind of amazing,i would have never thought trees to be invasive..Food for thought..
