hiding in plain sight

I have been delighting in seeing these ox-eye daisies lining our roadsides lately–swaying gently in the wind, and turning their sunny faces towards the sun. But just now, as I was looking up the latin name for posting, I see that is is considered an aggressive, non-native, invasive. Gosh. Now what do I do?  The authoritative website I used to identify many of my local plants, has it labeled as “ERADICATE!”. Yikes.  It looks so harmless and innocent. Tomorrow morning as I drive my usual route to go visit my Mom, will I feel like I am driving by thousands of botanical fugitives with rap sheets? Sometimes, ignorance is bliss.
