Vote for an "X Marks Clan Plant Badge"

[MacWage]

A Dandelion IS a WEED!!!!!!

BUT . . .

A THISTLE is a WEED TOO!!!!!!

Thus, NOT OBJECTION TO ME.

The OTHER suggested option:

My vote is for the KUDZU!

Brian

NO!!!!!!!
That is the Plant Badge for Clan MacArolin (my OWN group, which hasn't quite taken off yet)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Also, Kudzu isn't quite common enough internationally. Dandelions ARE.

From Wikipedia:

Kudzu (クズ or 葛, Kuzu?), Pueraria lobata (syn. P. montana, P. thunbergiana), is one of about 20 species in the genus Pueraria in the pea family Fabaceae, subfamily Faboideae. It is native to southern Japan and southeast China in eastern Asia. The name comes from the Japanese word for this plant, kuzu. The other species of Pueraria occur in southeast Asia, further south.

Once established, kudzu plants grow rapidly. Kudzu grows well under a wide range of conditions and in most soil types. Preferred habitats are forest edges, abandoned fields, roadsides, and disturbed areas, where sunlight is abundant.

Kudzu is now common throughout most of the southeastern United States, and has been found as far north as Pennsylvania, and as far south as Key West, Florida. It has also been found growing (rather inexplicably) in Clackamas County, Oregon in 2000

Kudzu is also becoming a problem in northeastern Australia and has been seen in yet isolated spots in northern Italy (Lago Maggiore)

I submit that Kudzu is international in scope (Asia, USA, Australia and Europe) and once established, grows rapidly. If that is not a measure of XMTS, what is?
