Here's a link to a few of my "thugs".

http://tinyurl.com/67p3drd

Corydalis lutea - this one's not so bad and blooms from spring 'til fall,
Easy to remove.  My Corydalis ex dufu temple should do as well!

Saruma henryi -Pretty in the spring, but is beginning to seed around just a
bit too much - again, pretty easy to remove extra plants.

Chelidonium majus - a Stylophorum relative that seeds just about everywhere.
"Howard Johnson's Orange" colored sap.

Pinellia pedatisecta - whoever thought an aroid could be so prolific?
Leaves very tropical looking - very much like Sauromatum (or Typhonium,
depending upon whom you believe) (voodoo lily)
One of the so-called "Green Dragons".  Seeds have 150% germination rate!

Aristolochia clematitis - thought it was kinda neat looking when it was just
a small patch, until it started taking over the whole side of the garden via
runners.

Lamiastrum galeobdolon - What was I thinking?  Guess I saw it in a friend's
yard growing where nothing else would and with two dogs the size of small
horses to keep it trampled down
