Matthew 13:25- "but while everyone was sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat, and went away."

A man who wanted to do his enemy harm would at nighttime go into his field and scatter pandinellu or "pig paddy". "This being of rapid growth springs up before good seed, and scatters itself before the other can be reaped, so that the poor owner of the field will be some years before he can rid the soil of the troublesome weed. But there is another noisome plant that these wretches cast into the ground of those whom they hate: it is called perum-pirandi, and is more destructive to vegetation than any other plant." -Roberts

Wow.....we have a weed here in Oregon that spreads rapidly. I dont know the real name of it but I call it pop weed. When it gets warm and you accidently barely touch it, or even the breeze flutters by. POP the pods burst open and the seeds go flying. They are also sticky. So you will carry the seeds around with you stuck to your pants and shirts. Ive even combed them out of my hair.

Amelia, that sounds like what we call "Milk Weed". Common Milkweed

I finally looked it up. Its Oxalis/ yellow wood sorrel

Thanks for the photo. It looks like they have pretty little flowers (reminds me of buttercups). Are they bad to root out "good flowers? I see where you said they spread fairly rapidly.
