In FL, mimosa plants are one example of this. There are also numerous thorny vines that will take over your yards, trees & bushes & that are poisonous. These too have to be removed. WE leave the little viney weeds that flower, those don't hurt anything, aren't invasive or toxic.

I do intend to plant more red 4 o'clocks near the fence next year. We had lots more butterflies & hummingbirds when we had them previously. They were just in the wrong place. I need to plant them by the fence so they can grow huge & not scratch the cars.
