Excuse me, but I don't need your condescending lecture on native plants. I am an expert on local plant propagation processes. I do habitat restoration on my property almost full time. I even transplant poison oak for erosion control and as a cover for wood rats (owl food).

That said, I don't care how "suited" wood sorrel is to her property, she doesn't have the right to infest other people's property with it no matter how PC you think it is, particularly in a neighborhood that has governing covenants that she accepted.

Hi Carry_Okie, please don't get mad at me! I am not trying to start a fight.

1) Telling you that sorrel is native and suited to the habitat wasn't intended to be condescending. Most people aren't aware of things like that, as I am sure you know.

2) I agree that the woman is legally and morally bound by a contract to which she is a party. A deal is a deal.

3) Everybody is entitled to their own aesthetic values, except for people who are contractually bound to observe aesthetic values which they may not like. I like wood sorrel, I think it's cute.

4) I hate poisoning lawns to get rid of weeds, and will never do it, but that's my own personal preference. I do mow my lawn to try to keep the "weeds" from spreading because I know that the neighbors will just poison theirs even more.

5) I am a member of the Virginia Native Plant Society and my impression is that we reserve "invasive" for alien species, not native plants that belong in the habitat.

As a highly qualified amateur proctologist, I think you are out of line, rude and wrong.
