Monroe just east of Glenway -- is that Arboretum property? I used to love those flowers -- though I sort of wondered why phlox was blooming so early -- but now that I know that they are invasive, I have mixed feelings about them.
Even so, they don't bother me as much as the groves of garlic mustard I see along the path, or the Japanese knotweed forest next to the Cemetery. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jay Otto" <[email protected]> To: "Alan Furchtenicht" <[email protected]> Cc: "Bikies" <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, May 28, 2010 3:53:45 PM Subject: Re: [Bikies] flowers along the SW path? Called "Dame's Rocket" -- hesperis matronalis. If you really want to see something, go down to Monroe street just east of Glenway (two blocks off the path). Looks similar to phlox, but it's actually a mustard relative -- blooms earlier in the spring than phlox, and has 4 petals per flower instead of 5. Often considered an invasive species...
