Least I think that's what it is!
I was driving past a meadow of deep purple (my favourite colour)
anywho I stopped, took a cutting and I am now told it's Patterson's
Curse!
I have a HUGE garden so there's plenty of room.
How bad is this delightful flower?

Yep, it sure is a beaut colour.

But don't praise it too loudly in farming areas, where they spend
untold amounts, to no avail it seems, to get rid of it.

You may get lynched for propogating it further.

Manya farm paddock is completely overrun with it.

Oh bugger I don't want to be a trouble maker!
I promise not to let it spread like what happened to the tadpoles- frogs.
Once on my evening walk, suddenly everyone had frogs croaking in there
front yard after my tadpoles left home.
I was so excited when they got legs!

I sorry but it only takes one plant to cause havoc. I am a weed officer in
local government and have dealt with weeds for many years. Please anyone
reading this, no noxious weeds should be grown at home. The cost to
Australia is huge.
