Vegetative pestilence season is upon us once again. In spite of years' sedulous removal of Nothoscordum inodorum as they turn up, three more bulbs matured and flowered this year. Yikes. Will I ever be rid of it? As probably reported before, this horrendous weed gained entrance to my garden many years ago under the nom de weed "Leucojum trichophyllum", courtesy of the then-ARGS seed exchange. For those not familiar with it, look for stems 60-65 cm tall (a little over 2') with a few-flowered umbel of off-white flowers. No onion scent to the foliage; a very sweet honey scent to the flowers if the nose gets close. It sets copious seed, white offsets attached to the parent bulb, and other offsets the color, size, and shape of apple seeds an inch or two from the parent bulb. If you have it in quantity, moving might be the simplest solution. -- Rodger Whitlock Victoria, British Columbia, Canada Maritime Zone 8, a cool Mediterranean climate on beautiful Vancouver Island
