Invasive

Hard to believe these soft delicate petals belong to a native plant that is considered very invasive. I read that this plant, Spotted Knapweed, is on Minnesota's prohibited/control weed list and "should be eradicated". Guess I should do my part and start eradicating them then, since they are literally everywhere around here. Kind of sad though because the bees seem to love them and the bees need all the flowers they can get.
