Crazy About Birds

Cleome

This cleome - or spider flower - comes up willy nilly all over my vegetable garden. It produces thousands of seeds and self seeds very easily. Basically I spend the entire growing season weeding most of it out. Then each plant that I've spared gets really tall - taller than me sometimes - and has rather wicked thorns on it - so when I try to remove the big plants to avoid the seeds getting all over the place, I have to be very careful where I grab it. Nonetheless - I like it.
