RE: corydalis

I have to put my 2 cents in here.  I had ONE plant of corydalis lutea about
8 years ago on the far side of my garden.  It has migrated and reseed
ferociously all over my garden.  It grows in cracks between rocks and
sidewalks - shade or full sun.  While I like the plant, I have resorted to
chemical eradication in my organic garden I am so desperate to control this
plant.  All those pretty yellow flowers put out more seed than you can
imagine, and I think they ALL germinate!

BE WARNED!
