prohibited plants

Re Cyclamen coum as an invasive: in Oswego, NY, it escaped into my lawn and
grew lustily and adorably. I then started hastening the process by tossing
handfuls of seed around. I like to imagine some future owner (or the
current one - it's been almost 5 years) cursing my memory as he pondered
"them little pink things" and wondered how to get rid of them....

Speaking of states that have inexplicable "invasive plant" lists, in
Oregon Cyclamen coum is on the list.

Portland, Oregon, where C. coum has indeed invaded about a meter away.

You can't import, sell, trade or distribute plants on the Massachusetts
prohibited list. If they're already on your property, you aren't obliged
to eradicate them (and even if you wanted to, good luck! Though I think
you DO want to eradicate giant hogweed, if you possibly can).
Some of the entries are laughable. Hesperis matronalis? It's already
everywhere. Regulations will not make a dent. O well.

Here are some things I´m apparently not meant to grow. Some of them live
outside already, though I didn´t plant them, and the government will just
never be able to get rid of them by wishing. One of them (hogweed) was
planted here on purpose by the Evil Plantsman, a kind of inlaw who
usually
dismounts from his car, takes a shovel out of his trunk, and plunders
whatever of mine is blooming and rare, without even asking. Perhaps I
should extirpate the hogweed, but it reminds me of the Tromso Palm that I
so enjoy in northern Norway--might even be the same plant. I don´t know
what the government has against the lowly Myosotis or the somewhat
tropical
iris.
My question is whether any of the plants on this list are bulbs I should
be steering clear of.
Perhaps I should just extirpate the Evil Plantsman, but that´s against
the
law.
