Hey Pitsaman -- While these purple beauties may be techincally flowers, they are the biggest nightmare of this country -- and several others -- Australia comes to mind.
This flower which here is a called a weed originated from Europe. It is called Purple Loosestrife and it costs this country billions upon billions of dollars. It clogs drainage pipes and waterways in no time. It is highly invasive, and one flower can produce over 1 million seeds. In this country, this plant has no pests or diseases to kill or eradicate it to keep it under control.
Probably way more information than you wanted to know... sorry!
That aside, lovely photo!
