It does seem to reseed quite easily but as it likes a wet spot it isn't too troublesome. I would like it to grow on my septic but it is usually in my vegetable beds and the path. This is not the same yellow flower that Linda identified as being invasive, I think it shares the same generic name as golden groundsel.Rock rose https://www.blogger.com/profile/00348711150803587369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3636445408720805216.post-78845597971376572822009-03-16T19:38:00.000-07:002009-03-16T19:38:00.000-07:00Your blooms and your photos are lovely, Jenny.

I think I may have some Pachera glabella in my yard this spring. It came up so close to my Engelmann's Daisy that at first I thought the daisy had morphed into a slightly different cutleaf plant with yellow flowers.

I can't wait until they are the size of yours! I have them intermingled around a whole bunch of artemesia "powis castle" looking forward to them blooming against the silver, but I think it will take them a while. Your yard looks great, I look forward to visiting it in person one of these days.<BR/>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3636445408720805216.post-21286995285727444382009-03-15T18:59:00.000-07:002009-03-15T18:59:00.000-07:00I'm relieved that the bluebonnets in your garden h...I'm relieved that the bluebonnets in your garden haven't struggled as much as the ones outside it.
