@wohali Because I’ve dealt with some of them, I can be pretty heartless sometimes. But as often as I have bitched about the likes of Canada thistle, I have also lovingly taken photos of their pretty flowers and delighted in their fluffy seeds. I don’t understand why invasive has to equal ugly, but I CAN understand why “pretty” doesn’t automatically equal “gets to stay”.* As much as I joke about leaving weeds, I have my exceptions.

(*That goes for garden plants as well.)
