When I lived in SE Michigan, there was a lot of Iris pseudacorus
all around the lakes in Oakland County. I knew that it was an exotic
invasive plant, but unlike Purple Loosestrife or Glossy Buckthorn, I
didn't have the heart to destroy it on my former property. The seeds
didn't seem to germinate too much.
