Oxalis pes-caprae is undeniably indestructible but somehow seems too
humble and too benign an opponent, spreading soft tender and lemony at
our feet in great swaths of winter brightness. (Besides, Janet, it adds
a delectable "tang" to the greens of our winter pittas here in the North
of Greece)
My vote would be for the heroic blackberry bramble that challenges to
hand-to-hand combat, leaving us battle-scarred and triumphant with a
sense of accomplishment.
