Thank you Diana, for posting that article. I've heard of the plant, but didn't know what it looked like, and common names aren't all that helpful. The only hemlock I knew of was a lovely evergreen tree. Now, armed with the Latin name, I can find out even more about it.

I don't have that one, but I've spent the last 5 years pulling nightshade.
Thanks, Diana and Calpsy
