EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photo, we witness the mischievous antics of the Rough Cocklebur (Xanthium strumarium), a notorious weed species that has made its way to Romania. With its vibrant fruit proudly on display, this alien plant stands out against the backdrop of a picturesque Romanian landscape in September. Originally hailing from North America, this European nature flower has taken root in Eastern and Central Europe, including Romania. Its introduction into these new territories has caused quite a stir among botanists and garden enthusiasts alike. As autumn sets in, the Rough Cocklebur flaunts its unique charm with clusters of prickly fruits adorning its branches. This invasive plant seems determined to make itself at home amidst native flora and fauna. While some may see it as an unwelcome guest, others can't help but admire the resilience and adaptability of this wildflower. Its presence serves as a reminder that nature always finds a way to surprise us with unexpected introductions. So next time you stumble upon one of these cheeky cockleburs during your Romanian adventures, take a moment to appreciate their tenacity and beauty – even if they are considered weeds!
