Invasive species? Just think of it as evolution in action.

Uh, no thank you. I think of them as a cost foisted upon me by irresponsible importers so that they could save a pittance by comparison.

Lakes, ponds, and swamps throughout the deep south are being coked by another former aquarium plant that has gotten into local waters, Duckweed. It even showed up 2 years ago in a small decorative pond in my backyard.

Most duckweed is native, contains 40 percent protein and is totally palatable by almost every existing herbivore.

No problem. It's just that I spent 7 hours today on my hands and knees weeding. I take these things seriously because I know from hard personal experience that they really are serious.
