Treasures! Here small wood lots that I’m told once had lots of natives are almost completely overrun with invasive. I have seen many plants that must have grown here for millennia disappear over the last ten years.
Luckily despite the invasives I’ve seen here and there (Garlic Mustard, Miscanthus, Phragmites, Common Buckthorn, Norway Maple), they haven’t grown en-masse traction locally at the very least. For whatever reason they just haven’t gone further than a meter from wherever they’ve taken root. Hope it stays that way as I’d hate for beautiful native stuff I’ve seen to disappear… We really need to work hard on more invasive species removal programs.
Crying is appropriate. Those plants are the same as magic.
Calling them magic is the corniest clichest wiccan thing I’ve ever read…
but at the same time
you’re not wrong yo…. The native plant sights out there can be pretty enchanting.. Its near impossible to simulate it in restorations or in gardenscapes.
