If I ever find whoever put this in their garden on my road there will be words of a strong and maybe not mind nature, delivered in a <a href="https://lgbtqia.space/tags/pnw" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>pnw</span></a> way. </p><p>If you’re a <a href="https://lgbtqia.space/tags/gardener" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>gardener</span></a> in the PNW, (I’m outside of <a href="https://lgbtqia.space/tags/PDX" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PDX</span></a> in the coast range foothills) please know this plant (<a href="https://lgbtqia.space/tags/ItalianArum" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ItalianArum</span></a>) and be willing to nuke it on sight.
