Perennial sowthistle is a w**d that grows in the northeastern, central, and western United States and Texas. It grows along roadsides, railroad tracks, and other disturbed areas. It is listed as an invasive w**d species in New Hampshire, several Midwestern states, and many western states including California and Alaska. It is listed as a noxious w**d in Alaska and is prohibited by law there. Perennial sowthistle can cause problems in agricultural fields by competing for space, moisture, and nutrients and will typically reduce crop production. Soil tillage followed by deep plowing can curtail plant growth by severing and burying the roots or by applying an herbicide.

Common evening-primrose is an herbaceous perennial plant recognized by its yellow flowers, which open in the evening and close again at sunrise.

Morrow's honeysuckle was introduced to the United States in the late 1800s as an ornamental shrub, prized for its fragrance and its white, pink, or even crimson flowers. Due to its aggressive and quick growing nature, however, morrow's honeysuckle has been identified as an invasive species that competes with native plants for soil moisture, pollination, and light.
