Is Yellow the New Blue?

How beautiful are the yellow wildflowers growing along the highways around Austin?  I think they're so pretty but it turns out this invasive plant called Bastard Cabbage (what kind of flower name is that?) and they are taking over the areas where the bluebonnets grow.  I've still seen bluebonnets popping up everywhere though, but I can tell they're harder to see when these yellow guys are around.  More info about this plant can be found here.
