Thank you for submitting your report to the Oregon Invasive Species Hotline. Unfortunately, the cost to control weeds often exceed the resources available for this effort. As such, we must prioritize the species and areas we treat to maximize the benefits from our limited resources. Your report helps with this process, and allows us to plan future treatments as additional resources become available. So thank you for your report.
Lesser Celandine is certainly a difficult species to control, and requires specific control measures to effective. For more information, check out the Lesser celandine factsheet developed by the Four County Cooperative Weed Management Area. (http://cwmatest.files.wordpress.com/2012/11/celandine.pdf)
Once again thank you for your time and effort in reporting this species.
Sam
