Since I am on a rant about invasive plants, let me share this cool little graphic about garlic mustard that the friends of the local park just sent out.

Not mentioned here is that another way this little fucker is so insidious is that it disrupts the mycorrhiza that many native plants need to grow.

Well...at least no one is posting arty photos of this one.

As things start blooming in the US at the start of spring, please consider not promoting invasive species by showing off your arty photos of them. Here is one I have seen a bit of, callery pear sometimes known as Bradford pear. It is highly invasive in much of the eastern part of the US. It takes over habitat once populated with native trees, shrubs and other plants, which supported a wide variety of native insects and animals. 1/2

#InvasiveSpecies are the second cause of endangerment and extinction of wildlife. Please stop importing and buying "decorative plants" and "exotic pets". Thank you for your action on this matter.
