    My two HORRORS I have actually sown or planted much to my dismay ... and forgive me for my sins :ntwrth::ntwrth::ntwrth: ... are

    1) Oenothera 'Rosea'... the pink evening primrose ... my worst nightmare in clay rock laden earth ... I CANNOT get rid of it .... s00k

    2) Passiflora caerulea (the common one) which is taking over my garden in borders, patios, gravel .... I CANNOT get rid ot it .... :help:

    Then I have to contend with that weed, is it a Trefoil? That tiny clover-like thing with tiny yellow flowers that burst fifty million seeds into obvilion onto my upper deck and anywhere there is a bit of dust sitting ... I CANNOT get rid of it .... :flag:

    Anyone there have any suggestions in 35c heat and rock hard soil ... would anyone like a holiday to try ?????

    I haven't regretted anything that I've ever planted. However if we were to include plants that find there way into a garden, then I'd say it was creeping buttercup. Aaarrrg!!!:flag:

    Hi Victoria
    I know the plant you mean it looks very like shamrock with yellow flowers, it seems to grow rampant in all "mediterranean" countries ,I have seen it from one end to the other, and they all have their own name for it
