Re: Purple Loosestrife and other Invaders
Of course, we must remember that these plants are simply doing what
they have evolved over countless generations to do; namely to exploit
niches in the environment, whether it be due to invading disturbed
habitats or places lacking natural predators or controlling agents.
Now of course, the hand of man has entered into this, causing these
events to occur over a much shorter time span (years) rather than
millennia. Imagine what would happen if something like the pink
ladyslipper orchid had the ability to do this!
