As for the story on the large ragweed, lol!
My good friend and co-worker's Mother was the President of their local garden club and got "yard of the month". My friend was the one that did her yard because she lived with her. Her camera was not working so my DH and I went over to take pictures and see her sign. There was this one plant out in the yard that was about 10 foot tall, the leaves were a beautiful shape. She didn't know what it was but had planted some plant bulb from WM in that spot and thought that was it. As we left her house I was looking out at the neighborhood and noticed these plants along a creek we crossed. I got home and started searching and found it was a large Ragweed! I immediately called her so she could take it out, but she wasn't sure I was right. After all, the lady from the garden club had looked at things when they walked around. Later she agreeded but decided to leave it there until the month was over. She never told her Mother what it was either! She did cut it before it went to seed. We still laugh about it when we see something we don't know what is. LOL!
