The most widespread here is the purple loosestrife, which is crowding native species out. But it is a gorgeous colour...Judyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15609527768798543641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1048648545129425244.post-15761192948522703962012-01-03T01:08:44.560+11:002012-01-03T01:08:44.560+11:00thanks for this lovely flowers :)thanks for this lovely flowers :)Tina´s PicStoryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00144127584040088355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1048648545129425244.post-75669315168569477442012-01-01T13:49:31.332+11:002012-01-01T13:49:31.332+11:00Hi Carole...we have the "Himilayian Blackberr...Hi Carole...we have the "Himilayian Blackberry" here in Oregon and it too is considered a weed. When we bought our 5 1/2 acres, it was 8' tall and full of thorns. My husband wacked and dug roots the size of large sweet potatoes...mountains of them. Finally we have them under control and can just mow them down! The fruit has a wonderful taste and the flowers are also white. There is vacant property across from our house so we can pick all the fruit we want each summer...YUM!<br />Jan in Salem, Oregon - USAJan Castlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14940482799530456814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1048648545129425244.post-73408444787946711972012-01-01T03:27:24.084+11:002012-01-01T03:27:24.084+11:00It is a pretty thing.

It came in on the bottom of campers boats and soon was clogging our canals and waterways. Choking out all the natural habitat. On the upside, it is harvested and used for fertilizer.Burtinenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1048648545129425244.post-34683140747945186652011-12-31T23:34:15.437+11:002011-12-31T23:34:15.437+11:00This is a lovely image Carole.
