Aquatic Exotic Flowering Plant Introduced Invasive Naturalised Pest Pests Primrose Primroses Problem Spreading Water Plants
EDITORS COMMENTS
Watch out, River Cher! The South American Water Primrose is taking over and it's one serious party crasher!". In this lively print captured by Bob Gibbons, the invasive Ludwigia uruguayensis (also known as Ludwigia hexapetala) has made its way into the beautiful River Cher at St. Aignon, France. This flowering plant may seem innocent with its vibrant blooms, but don't be fooled - it's causing quite a stir! With its naturalized presence in Europe, this exotic troublemaker is spreading like wildfire and becoming a real problem for aquatic ecosystems. These water primroses are not your average primroses; they thrive in water and have become pests that river dwellers just can't seem to get rid of. But let's take a moment to appreciate their tenacity! These invaders have found their way from South America all the way to France, proving that they're up for an adventure. While we might not want them around our rivers, we can't help but admire their determination. So next time you find yourself floating down the River Cher or any other European waterway overrun by these mischievous plants, remember to give them a nod for being such persistent party animals – even if they weren't invited!
