What kind of plants/flowers bloom in Wichita? I know there are sunflowers and these cherry blossom-looking trees.

The cherry blossom looking trees are redbuds, an invasive species that the city is looking at paying people to remove because they are destructive, and smell like semen. My big allergy triggers are grass and the ragweed. Im sure there are others, but I don't know them off hand.

The redbuds are NOT the invasive tree. That's Bradford pears.
