It's about the environment

Today is World Environment Day, so I thought I'd post something relevant to our local environment. This lovely flower (which also comes in some other shades - see PiP) is an invasive environmental weed. It goes by the name of African Daisy (Osteospermum fruiticosum). Like many of our weeds, it is a "garden escapee" and many people still cultivate it, but it produces massive quantities of viable seeds which spread rapidly - in places where it shouldn't be! As a Landcare volunteer, I join others in trying to eliminate it and other weeds from the local nature reserve.
