<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span style="font-size:10.0pt">Hello, Claudia.<br>
<br>
My neighbor allerted me this latest invasion of our woods. This is a small green plant that has spread rapidly, and is shallow rooted. I have tried to use my 'plant identifier' app, but got totally confused. They eventually bear a small purplish flower on a
spikey stem.<br>
<br>
Would appreciated an identification, and some advice as to how to get rid of it. I am perfectly willing to pull them all up, but would appreciate a go ahead from you.
<br>
Thanks for your help.<br>
