PhotoHunt: Foreign

Polygonum cuspidatum

A bee on Japanese Knotweed, a foreign invasive brush that is very prevalent in New Hampshire. I have even seen it cultivated here. The insects love the blossoms in late summer. This was taken in the summer of 2009.


Thank you for visiting.

    It is so beautiful but it is a huge pest here in the uk. A superb photo!

    Terrific shot, and the depth of field is perfect. I also loved the shot of your piano in a sling. Didn't know you played. A Glenn Gould fan too!!! Some day I must tell you my mystical Glann Gould story.

    That's a beautiful shot. Sometimes invasives have lovely flowers. Happy weekend.

    Again this is one of those themes that can easily take so many directions. I'd have never thought of that. Beautiful and perfect for the theme.

    Thanks for dropping by my blog and I hope I see you again soon.

    Ooo we have those here in NY, too! They are pretty but too invasive.

    My Photo Hunters is up. I hope you have some time to take a peek. Happy weekend!

    Wonderful photo. So many things are transplanted from foreign parts and instead of being a delight become a nuisance. And not only plants.

    Have a good weekend.

    Great close-up of the bee. I like the detail.
    Non-native plants are a big issue around here, too.

    Nice close up of the bee. It kind of makes me want to hurry the seasons up and get warmer as quickly as possible.
