Deb, My gardens overflow with the fmn as well. I really do love the color, and you are right, they are easy to pull IF you can bring yourself to do it. It took me several years to get ruthless enough with them to keep them under some semblence of control. I have gotten much better at it over the last several years!

I found a few more pics... Here is my "stunted" tree peony. It's blooms are usually very full and bigger than a softball. This year it is really not very attractive. You can see how far apart some of the blooms are in timing as there are a few completely spent ones in the center. I think that the poor thing was just traumatized by our odd spring.
