Unusually lots of rain is good for ツユクサ(=dew weed).
Commelina communis: almost native
C. benghalensis: introduced
C. caroliniana: recently introduced
What works to segregate and isolate them? Growing next each other but haven’t seen hybrids 🤔

ツユクサ。朝咲いて昼に萎む様子を日が昇るにつれて消えゆく朝露に例えて露草。で、英名もその日限りの花の意でdayflowerなんだな。
Asiatic dayflower (Commelina communis). The Japanese name tsuyukusa means “dew grass,” perhaps inspired by how its blossoms appear in the morning and fade by midday, like dew vanishing with the sun.

Beautiful shot of Commelina communis. It is commonly known that Linnaeus choose the name because the two bigger blue petals represent two of Commelijn brothers, Jan and Caspar, both renowned botanists, while the small, atrophied one, is for the third brother who died young.

There also were other non-native weeds, including a plant new for me, Cardiospermum halicacabum, which lived up to its common name, Lesser Balloon Vine 3/n

Well, Asiatic Dayflower is the most common name, oops. Commelina communis is the Latin name. It's called yazhicao in China and tsuyukusa in Japan. I call them dinner.
