I brought some home a number of years ago, but then, when it started to spread too far, I decided to pull it out. It kept coming up for a few years, and I kept pulling it.

I could name 1000 perennials, annuals, vegetables, trees, shrubs, etc, but not wildflowers.

I find it hard to keep up with a lot of memes, too, but Wildflower Wednesday really appealed to me, and I've learned so much from others' posts on them. For example, someone once showed a pretty little bloom called persicaria. It looked vaguely familiar, so I researched it and found it was smartweed!
