Pretty Purple Loosestrife Is a Pretty Big Kentucky Problem
The Bluegrass State has a lot of incredible two-lanes that make for an excellent afternoon.
And the wildflowers here in the Commonwealth can be absolutely breathtaking, up to and including the prolific goldenrod, which, despite its beauty, makes me sneeze my head off for a good 20 minutes.

But goldenrod is not an invasive species. I doubt it would've been designated as our state flower if it was.
Recently while out on a drive, we noticed some striking purple flowers along the side of the road. They were growing between the road and a pretty good-sized ditch. And then earlier today, I saw a Facebook post about it from Indiana where it is suggested you contact its Department of Natural Resources if you have seen it.
