   Is it just me, or does there seem to be a lot more giant hogweed around Glasgow this summer, and growing in large numbers in places it hasn't been growing before?

   If you don't know, giant hogweed is an invasive plant species which can grow up to five metres tall and has sap capable of severely burning uncovered skin. For that reason, they always make me think of science fiction's ultimate invasive plant species - the Triffid!
