They *are* pretty flowers; that's why they got planted in gardens -- just like purple loosestrife, etc. ----- Original Message ----- From: "tim wong" <[email protected]> To: "Robbie Webber" <[email protected]> Cc: "Bikies" <[email protected]>, "Alan Furchtenicht" <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, May 28, 2010 6:43:23 PM Subject: Re: [Bikies] flowers along the SW path?

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...
