Re: Something scandalous...?
Wow, again all of these nasties are all living happily in Hawaii. The
Cyperus rotundus was brought as a usefull plant. Appartently it has
antifever properties, but boy is it a fun plant to deal with. Appears to
be herbicide resistant as the dormant corms/tubers are not affected as the
above ground portion gets killed off.
How about Wedelia trilobata. A really nice ground cover that aggressively
colonizes slopes, under shade, full sun, etc. Apparently is also
resistant/immune to roundup, et al.
