Alien Aliens Australasia Australasian Crassulaceae Introduced Introduction Introductions Invasive North Umberland Species Weed Weeds Blooms
Nature's Sneaky Invader - New Zealand Pygmyweed Takes Over Northumberland!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photo print, the notorious Crassula helmsii, also known as New Zealand Pygmyweed, proudly displays its vibrant flowers in the picturesque landscape of Northumberland, England. But don't be fooled by its delicate beauty – this invasive weed has a mischievous agenda! Hailing all the way from Australasia, this audacious alien plant has made itself at home in English waters. Its introduction to British shores was no accident; it cunningly hitched a ride on unsuspecting travelers or perhaps even plotted its own grand entrance. With summer in full swing, these tenacious blooms have taken over water bodies across Northumberland. Their presence is a stark reminder that nature knows no boundaries and can surprise us with unexpected guests. As locals marvel at the sight of these exotic invaders thriving amidst their native counterparts, one can't help but admire their resilience. However, let's not forget that behind those pretty petals lies an ecological challenge for our beloved British flora and fauna. So next time you stumble upon a seemingly innocent aquatic plant like Crassula helmsii while exploring European landscapes, remember to appreciate its beauty but also remain vigilant against potential threats lurking beneath the surface!
