Re: blue-eyed grass and borers

>>> For those of you not in N. America the botanical name is
Sisyrinchium montanum. <<<

This is the one that pops up all over here - to my delight.  

The wild flower that drives me crazy in my gardens is the
Northern White Violet: Viola pallens, Family Violaceae. *
Flowers April - July. * Habitat: Wet woods and clearings. *
Range: Across Canada and northern United States.  *Native.

***But after reading a web site, we might be having a lot of
violet salads! If you can't defeat it, eat it.  :)

* The leaves and flowers of violets are edible, delicious, and
healthy. They contain three times as much Vitamin C as an equal
portion of oranges, plus significant amounts of Vitamin A.
