My comment on dandelions yesterday brought out a slew of people commenting about loving them, too. I knew you people were my friends for a reason

You mean you didn't know that Queen Anne's lace is Rat Xtacy? 0_o
The Utard neighborhood yard patrol for some reason had it in for us personally. While other people had dead toilets, wrecked satillite dishes and waist high piles of debris sitting on their front lawns for months without complaint, every time we left some bags of leaves on our driveway from Sunday to Thursday (the first day in the week when green waste was open), we'd get a nastygram.
The vice President of our Homeowner's Association, a good friend of ours, is a kindred spirit to your Carol. She cannot prune, transplant or control the growth of her gardens. So by mid summer the walk to her front entrance is useless as a walkway due to the overgrowth of runaway Bachelor Buttons. She planted a few of them about five years ago and now they have taken over all her flower beds, front and back.
One of her projects for the HA, which we Mouse's fully support, is to plant native wildflowers in the common areas in the subdivision.
Another neighbor planted wild-like flower species in her side yard. I don't mind all the Queen Ann's lace, but I do raise an eyebrow at her lush stands of ragweed.
Speaking of wildflowers, we are mourning the loss of our Jack-in-the-pulpit that sprung up in our shade garden several years ago and came back each year. But last year something caused it to die near the end of the season. I think a chipmunk burrowed under it, but I don't have proof.
