As a botanically trained ecologist in NZ, I get a front-row seat to the slow-motion avalanche of new plants spreading into the wild from gardens.
It will be a massive landscape transformation, just getting started.
On Monday I made the 24th observation of the common lionface on #iNaturalist in greater Christchurch. The first was 2019. It would already take a city-wide effort to stop, and is just one species of hundreds.
