My family just visited the Butterfly Wonderland in Phoenix, Arizona and these plants were all over the “island” structures in the parking lots! They’re a small, low growing, ground cover plant with tiny, bright yellow Pom-Pom shaped flowers. We didn’t know what they were but now I do! I’m glad I didn’t let my granddaughter pick them!
Probably a good idea to plant some other plants: grasses, clover, or flowers native to the area after the invasive plants have been pulled. Over seeding of grasses and clover can prevent other plants from growing, so it could help for the invasive ones to not grow back.
I saw this guy on RUclips who uses controlled fire to kill all non native species. He burns everything, because the natives always come back. He's doing it for a bunch of cities
All of these invading pests, from plants, trees to birds, etc. were all imported here by affluent travelers and global merchants. My backyard native birds are virtually decimated by flocks of greedy and aggressive sparrows and starlings, both imported here from Europe in the 1800’s.
@@AhJodie Absolutely. Do you know that in America we once had the beautiful Elm tree? It flourished where I lived. A parasite called the Emerald Ash Borer was transported in shipping crates to this country and quickly decimated that beautiful tree.
They said it came from South Africa 25 years ago. Did they plant it on purpose so it WOULD be a fuel for wild fires? We have bad people coming to America that would do something like this. It used to be safe here. Not anymore.
Probably ordered the seeds online and planted it because it does well in the harsh environment not knowing how easily it spread by seed. Probably all it took was one plant with how many seeds they make. Looks like it's growing in areas nothing else grows anyways which is probably the prime issue here.
We have flower like that in Australia but thankfully it does not stink or causes irritation to your skin. It has no scent that I have ever noticed, it’s called a button flower don’t know its botanical name. It’s smaller than that one, it’s about a quarter inch round.
It’s an old term used. It means more than just your personal backyard. It’s like the old saying of popping across the pond, meaning they are flying to the UK or if in the UK they are flying to NY. Someone out of town and array to where you live would have said in my backyard meaning from the place they grew up. It’s a play on old sayings that’s all.
I would like to know more about this "weed". I understand that it seems very invasive and it sucks that it's flammable!!! Is there anything good about this weed? I'm just curious cause as a kid I was told that dandelion was bad and it turns out not so much really. So understand my curiosity here. These days there's just way too many things that were said to be bad that ended up to actually be good, and vice-versa!
Plants that are NOT native do not benefit us or the native wildlife. It chokes out the native natural resources that these animals and local pollinators depend on. Please research non native plants and the havoc they play on our wildlife.
I couldnt find any specific useful benefits. I did find that it is used for remedies by indigenous folks but what remedies it did not say. Pharmaceuticals are also looking into if there are any uses but I could find no articles on any findings as of yet.
@NopeUghUghAbsolutelyNot Thank you very much for the information!!! I have no problem pulling these Weeds and getting rid of them, especially if they are going to affect our natural plants here in Az! Stay Blessed!!!
Sooo, fields and fields of them. You going to pull them all? Sounds like an excersise in futility. Maybe spray before they flower? Looks like thousands of spores of pollen.
Come to my relief all my sheep goat llama various type of deer and antelope are Soo in favourable for this type of yellow flower plant in my beloved properties estate ✨❤✨

One years seeding is seven years weeding.
Yes! Good job. ❤
Started pulling this invasive species years ago in Scottsdale. 😢
Someone came and planted it

They're still trying to get rid of Russian sage ( tumbleweeds)
Who doesn't...

I can't stand these things!! Thanks for sharing this information.
Why does the title say backyard like the plant can't grow in the front yard?
😁good point!😁

@@dawsie Ahhh ok, like folk used use 'my neck of the woods'... got it. Thank you
Are you sure this isnt common Mexican chamomile ?
No it isn't. That smells sweet like apples too!

@@NopeUghUghAbsolutelyNot Dandelions are like any other flower. They have pollen which feeds our bees.
@@rridderbusch518 Ok? I was giving the poster information on their inquiry about the stinknet in the video.

Good Volunteer Cause! ✨🌎✨
Roundup doesn't work? It will be easier to use plantkiller then wait for the soil to recover and plantkiller break down.

My favorite weed, keeps the cats away from shiting on my lot.
Really??? Cats don't like it, you say???
😂😂cats stink 😂😂
Outdoor cats have fleas...@@jermnheat
Cool.
The bumblebees love them tho
Good.Incect depopulation coming.Feed the bees and butterfly's.
Why doesnt the government ever seek out the person or business of blame and hold them accountable? Useless.
Come to my relief all my sheep goat llama various type of deer and antelope are Soo in favourable for this type of yellow flower plant in my beloved properties estate ✨❤✨
Nasty plant!
Gee. Wonder how this weed got aaallllll the way over here from Africa?🐒
Problem is no one wants to do weeding for free. Government should be paying people.
Spread the word is an aphrodisiac... I am sorry, an AfricanAmericandisiac to be politically correct
