What is the name of the invasive weed with the purple flower (not glory bush or kosters curse, the smaller one)? I forgot. Our lot used to be infested with them. A sword fern moved in and completely displaced them, they are virtually gone now. I've found that as I hack the glory bush and koster's curse down the fern moves in quickly. We had a similar fern in Oregon and Alaska but they only grew to about knee height. In Hawaii they get 10 feet tall and extremely dense, even in very poor soil.
It's like invasive species whack-a-mole. The LFA don't seem to like either the glory bush or the kosters curse because I never find them there, but I do get occasionally stung while hacking through the sword ferns. They absolutely love the guava. If I'm fighting guava I get stung every time.
