Those orange ones they call ditchlilies, right? They do behave like a weed! I love them, and wish all the other daylilies were as easy to grow.
:D
But I just cleared out two smallish sections where they'd taken hold, and I have planted out fans in two other, larger sections, potted up about fifteen I didn't have room for, and there's still a whole dishtub full that I am tempted to throw in the ditch!
Anyway. I would love a "Weed" forum, for all the reasons Keith mentioned here:
http://garden.org/thread/view_.... We can all acknowledge that what is a weed to one is a desired plant to somebody else. I have periwinkle here, (vinca) which is considered invasive elsewhere though it is sold as an ornamental groundcover. To me it's a weed, but I don't need to ID it.
When I lived in CA I owned a copy of the Weed Book (I believe it was called that) -- a tome put together by some UC Davis botanists, and primarily to ID invasives for farmers and livestock people. But it was far and away more valuable for IDing wild plants I ran across in my wanderings than any fieldguide. Wildflower fieldguides don't tend to include things like the spotted spurge mentioned above, for instance.
Just wanted to add a minority voice to the discussion.
