Help identify this weed/plant/flower/whatever
http://www.techno-impressionist.com/weed1.htm There are large patches of this on the lawn of a house I just bought. Is it a weed? Is it invasive? Will it be a problem? Thanks. -- Tony Karp, TLC Systems Corp Techno-Impressionist Museum: http://www.techno-impressionist.com TLC Systems: http://www.tlc-systems.com |

Help identify this weed/plant/flower/whatever
Looks like henbit to me. See:
http://www.ppws.vt.edu/scott/weed_id/lamam.htm Define "problem" 8-) I've got bits of it here and there, and I find it sort of pretty in a small way. It gets mowed along with the rest of the plants, including grass, that live in my lawn, and I don't notice it much after that. Not worth getting excited about, IMO. It seems to confine itself to the lawn, and doesn't annoy me by showing up very often in the flower beds, which I do keep weed-free.

Help identify this weed/plant/flower/whatever
I know it as henbit, and have seen it in lawns in New England, and the
Pacific Northwest. Very common invasive Euro introduction, easy enough to get rid of with herbicides. Frankly, I don't think it gets to be too much of a problem. I would never spray for it in NY / NJ / CT / PA...other opinions?? -- Mike LaMana, MS Heartwood Consulting Services, LLC Toms River, NJ www.HeartwoodConsulting.net "Tony Karp" wrote in message ... http://www.techno-impressionist.com/weed1.htm There are large patches of this on the lawn of a house I just bought.
