It's like your garden has dandruff...

And each seed is a flake on your new black velvet jacket.
Oh, how I hate you Eupatorium rugosum, with your aliases and your stems that are too strong to pull out without using super-human powers and your late-season blooming when I'm just too tired to go out there and deadhead every single flower in the state.
You may have some cool relatives, like Joe Pye Weed and Chocolate Eupatorium, but so do I and yet CLEARLY some of my relatives suck too.
Half the country thinks you suck entirely and the other half apparently used Head And Shoulders or something and you're not bothering them as much. But I live on the half that you're flaking all over so do me a favor and T/Gel it outta here.

    I've been wondering what the heck this was. Thought it looked a lot like the Joe Pye Weed I've seen in gardening books (even though I didn't think it grew in Texas) and was getting a wee bit excited at the possibility. Alas, turns out I just have dandruff. Poo!
