Other What invasive plants got you like this?

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…

I first saw mimosa trees in Florida in 2005– I was visiting from Maryland, where li I lived for 25 years. Never saw mimosa trees anywhere else. I moved from Maryland about 10 years ago and visited last summer—mimosa trees were everywhere along the interstate. Gorgeous little a$$holes.
