Jo Ann - a brief association with MG's is enough to warrant years of pulling out seedlings. It looked so beautiful in bloom but then come the unwanted seedlings and unless a person checks two or three times every week, without fail, one will manage to grow, flower and provide more years of plucking.

Catherine - Never did I believe I could rid myself of Aegopodium but I did win that war, along with the war on the evil Houttuynia.

Even last summer I found more MG seedlings, and since their seeds can thrive for 80 years, it looks like I'll be 150 or more before I can claim victory.

Karen - so far I've found cleome Senorita Blanca and Senorita Rosalita locally. Neither smell. This year I potted it along with a lovely salvia (Mexican Bush Sage - Salvia Leucantha) hoping for the stunning combination I saw at a local nursery. Photo is the last one. I'm guessing both will be much smaller than the last photo since they are potted.
