Michael,
you know it's the old "one man's trash is another's treasure" thing...
Wayside sells Agapanthus orientalis as an expensive tender container
plant I've been removing mountains of it around the buildings here
where it was mass planted 40 years ago and where it is boring
me to tears. I sometimes think I ought to start a side business selling 'em
by mail to folks back east nice and cheap...same for Iris foetidissima
which is a common weed in the Roof Garden...
The reason I cannot agree with the opinion that Oxalis pes-caprae is benign
is that it emerges from its summer dormancy at precisely the same time that
our native annuals and summer dormant perennials are sprouting and it
seriously out competes many of them. It makes restoration of land
infested with it to natives almost impossible. Very frustrating for me
just at the moment.

Dear Deborah, 1/13/00
Just think, it was brought to CAL as an ornamental ON PURPOSE
and is stil sold as such by Kartuz and Logee's as "Cape
Buttercup". It is certainly the worst weed in No. Cal and
very difficult to destroy.
