This member of the Mustard family, Dame's-rocket, was introduced from Europe as a garden flower. Now it has spread to roadsides and open forests. When we spent a morning walking at Strathcona Ravines Park (within the city) a few days ago, we came across a number of areas of this invasive, but very pretty, flower growing on the hillsides. I always love to see the colour, especially against the green foliage.

This plant was not at its best, but I did want a photographic record of seeing it at Strathcona Park Ravine yesterday morning. A member of the Mustard family, it is another introduced species as a garden flower, from Europe.

A friend and I spent this afternoon exploring the west end of Griffith Woods. At the end of our walk, by the parking lot at the west end of the park, two or three plants of this Dame's-rocket were growing in the grass. This member of the Mustard family was introduced from Europe as a garden flower.
