I remember a Genesis song about this.

What took so long? This should have been in the top ten posts to this thread.

Yep, it came to Britain in the late 60's early 70's. It's even immortalized in song Genesis. Nasty, not quite a Triffid but damned close.

Looks like the ideal plant to protect your Trump, anti-abortion, pro Israel or pro-freedom signs. Disposable gloves, smear sign frame with stems/leaves, await liberal screams!

Looks similar to Queen Anne’s Lace.
