The sorrel, dock and mountain sorrel grow wild up here. I understand that the smaller leaved variety is called sorrel and the large leaves are referred to as dock. I have a patch of the mountain sorrel (oxyria digyna) in a flower bed. I add it to salads in the early summer. As kids we would find the sourdock and eat it out in the woods. Hey Worth, one plant that grows in both states with extreme differences in weather! Invasive in your part of the world and a wild, native plant up here. We do have many other noxious invasive plants that someone found it to be a good idea to try to grow and now they have taken over, pushing out the native plants.
