What's a plant like you doing here?

The rain we have had over the last four weeks 

has brought out the wisteria like I haven't seen it in 10 years 

the roses have had a second magnificent showing

 and the South African daisy has gone berserk

So here I tried for an artistic shot!!to try and disguise the lawn

 (DIDN'T WORK!)

so here goes with the second worst area

The grass has gone.

Now don't get me wrong we have large swathes of green

 (which I am not going to photograph just yet)

The problem is IT'S NOT GRASS

Sooooo,

to cut a long story short

 we had the local weeds officer here yesterday.

We  have 3/4 acre of bindy, cat head 

 and just about every other weed you could name

Soooooo,

back he came this morning with the dawn

 and sprayed avoiding the roses etc

he did use a spray that should leave what little grass we have still living

so hopefully we won't look like this

As he was leaving 

I happened to mention

 (in passing) 

that I hoped he had not sprayed near the outside loo 

because I really loved this plant

isn't it beautiful?

It stands over six feet high and about 8' long.

THE POOR MAN!

I truly think he hated having to tell me 

that this plant I was so proud of was

 'green cestrum'

an incredibly noxious weed that is a disaster to cattle, sheep and horses!!!

IT HAS TO GO IMMEDIATELY

and the point to this story is?

I DON'T HAVE A GREEN THUMB!!!!!

Goodnight
