| They certainly do Cheryl and are as tough as old boots. Especially these that grow in the sand and salt air it would have to be a native I reckon.. | |

| Thanks girls I knew they were all weeds but thought they escaped from our gardens. Not the gardens of the entire world When you see so much of this on the Coast line it screams WEEDS Mountains of the stuff I wonder why the two councils dont clean it up. Gwen that link also had this one on it Senna pendula var. glabrata it was there too. Fay I was just having a bit of fun... I did not take it as offence Gail thanks for that name I am glad I did not bring any home I kind of felt it was a weed.. | |
