by careyjane May 3, 2005 9:19 PM
These purple flowers are about 3 inches long and there are about 20 of them in each cluster. They are quite fragrant.

The foliage is about as big as my hand, and quite fuzzy.

The seedpods look exactly like pecans, but inside are millions of tiny seeds.

To illustrate the invasiveness, these are growing under our RV, within inches of the concrete pad.

Sprouted in a crack in the cement, also under the RV. There must be 15 of them now.
