Purple Loosestrife

26 Oct 2007 124
There are more than 500 species worldwide in the Loosestrife family. This plant was growing among the bushes at Pearce Estate, where the light was not very good. Pretty though it is, this plant spreads rapidly and prevents native plants from growing. In most of North America, it is known as a noxious weed.
