My friend made a similar point about milkweed when I asked her, "It's a bad thing, isn't it?" She said, "Weell, it depends..." and listed the benefits. Aah, the subtlety that experience brings!Jordanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05712893867575841432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6138859409301308693.post-49516837957471232882010-06-07T19:53:44.067-04:002010-06-07T19:53:44.067-04:00I've bit my tongue about the Dame's Rocket...I've bit my tongue about the Dame's Rocket or Sweet Rocket long enough . . . I must confess it's one of my favorite wild flowers. It has a lovely latin name: Hesperis matronalis, an intoxicating perfume in the morning and evening and its subtle shades of white and violet brighten up the shady garden spots. It does self-seed but not with reckless abandon and it doesn't send down a burly taproot so can be moved or dispatched easily enough--but then would would want to dig up a plant with so many attributes? True some states have added it to the noxious plant list but I'm sure those responsible sit behind a desk all day looking at numbers. Give them a bouquet of Hesperis matronalis and they'll change their song.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6138859409301308693.post-9976844775505579052010-06-07T14:14:36.371-04:002010-06-07T14:14:36.371-04:00Jordan-
