Member # 1672 posted                       These things have been growing wild in our area for the past few years. It seemed that all of a sudden they popped up out of nowhere! A woman who works at a small nursery nearby calls them the "alien plant" - they can get very big and tall! I've had a few start to grow down by my rock wall, but have pulled them out - I didn't want them to spread all over once I allowed a few to grow. That said... they are pretty! Just... somewhere else! * * * * Lynne's knitting journal "I'm spayed, declawed, and housebound - how's YOUR day going???"

I just want to thank Angelblossom for including that wonderful site that identifies weeds! Weeding is a HUGE chore in my gardens and it is interesting to find out the names. Many thanks! * * * * Peppercorn Plants: 8 | From: Metro Chicago | Registered: Sep 2006  |  Seeded: 71.194.253.29
