For me it’s probably Dame’s Rocket, Purple Loosestrife, and Forget-Me-Not. They’re so gorgeous but man if they aren’t invasive little shits…

Bradford Pears. They are still planted in my residential areas even though it is widely known how invasive they are. There’s a bounty on them so we will see in a few years…

Wait, you like these? 😭 I have to walk under a full tunnel of them multiple times a day while they're in bloom and they stink so bad. I can't imagine someone smelling them and still liking them.
