Re: Invasive Species B/C
I'm only concerned about the literal interpretation for nationals seeing as how the event supervisor is most likely the same person who wrote the rules.Unome wrote:The rules may say so, but the rules don't write the test.

See page 3 of this document: http://www.msuextension.org/invasivepla ... itetop.pdfblhab wrote:Anyone see differences in Whitetop and Hairy Whitetop???
(Note: they use old taxonomy for the two: ("Globe-podded whitetop (Cardaria pubescens)"=HAIRY WHITETOP) ("Heart-podded whitetop (C. draba)"=WHITETOP))

The spotted knapweed behind my school has started to flower.

Re: Invasive Species B/C
Went outside today and ran into a terrifying sight... (yeah, the images are really large)
Thankfully it was only 2 plants, so hand pulling was pretty easy.
In other news, Japanese Spirea has been in bloom here for the past few weeks.

Isn't St. Johnsworth able to be classified as a somewhat helpful invasive, seeing as it's used in some medicines? I'm scrolling through these posts and I'm jealous--the only common invasives in my city are Japanese Honeysuckle, Alligatorweed, and the occasional Medusahead.

Re: Invasive Species B/C
Well yes, but in this case it is not being cultivated with proper measures to prevent its spread, it's just growing freely in an extremely eroded part of my yard. The same thing kind of goes for Japanese Spirea. The plant in those two pictures is an ornamental in flower beds, which isn't a problem (yesterday evening I also came across some growing freely out in the woods, which is a problem).Entomology wrote:John Richardsim wrote:Went outside today and ran into a terrifying sight...
