LOVE it!<br /><br />My Mom took some seeds back from Seattle to plant where they live, south of Portales but I don't think it ever grew. I figure it would grow and take over the countryside but I guess not.<br /><br />Same thing with horsetail - a noxious weed in PNW but as I was researching how to get rid of it, I found they sell it in gardening catalogs... I was sitting on a GOLD mine!!

I guess it was brought in to control erosion and just took over, whole hillsides, fields etc are covered in it and in a variety of colors. We have a nice yellow one here but had several different colors in Seattle.WasSoggyInSeattlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18333671048065371065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7264626299434162172.post-16397041373161338252009-05-01T16:01:00.000-06:002009-05-01T16:01:00.000-06:00OMG I'm so jealous!
