EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print by Bob Gibbons, we catch a glimpse of the notorious New Zealand pigmy-weed (Crassula helmsii) as it flaunts its delicate white flowers. But don't be fooled by its innocent appearance! This tiny flowering plant has become a widely naturalized invasive pest, causing quite a stir in the wetlands of the beautiful New Forest. Hailing all the way from Europe, this aquatic weed has taken advantage of its new home and is spreading like wildfire. With its ability to thrive in various environments, it poses a significant threat to native plants and ecosystems. The United Kingdom now faces an unexpected battle against this pesky intruder! But let's not forget to appreciate Mother Nature's ingenuity. Despite being considered an unwelcome guest, there's no denying that these pigmy weeds possess an undeniable charm when seen up close. Their intricate blooms add a touch of elegance amidst their destructive tendencies. So next time you find yourself exploring the enchanting landscapes of the New Forest or any other European wetland for that matter, keep your eyes peeled for these mischievous invaders hiding amongst nature's wonders. And remember, while they may be pretty to look at, let us work together to protect our precious flora from their insidious spread!
