Cornish granite and coast

Cornish granite and coast
Near Penberth Cove. The montbretia is lovely but a non-native invasive species - as is the bracken, introduced as fodder by the Romans (but then I suppose we all are when one comes to stop and think about it!)

Do you mean we all are invasive species or potential fodder ?

Damn!
I'm an English teacher and I didn't spot that one! Well seen Nick! Do you want my job!
:o)
Thinking further and I have to grant that both may be possible but the former is the more likely interpretation!

I didn't say I didmn't like them but there are moves to eliminate them! Just as there are moves to eradicate the Livingstone Daisies that are out-competing native species on the granite cliffs.

Cracking view along the coast and a lovely foreground.

The Romans themselves were a pretty invasive species if I remember my history correctly!

A wonderful view, could there have been a cottage nearby where the Montbretia could have come from
7 years ago.
Andy Rodker club has replied to Peter Castell club
Thank you, Peter,
The montbretia is everywhere. It loves the mild, damp climate. You see bushes of fuchsia and cliffs covered in Livingstone daisies too (they also thrive in this climate and love the acidic soil), rather like the west coast of Ireland and Brittany, where they have a similar issue. All these are very attractive to look at but they crowd out native species, some of which can't compete and are at risk of extinction, together with other plants, insects and animals that depend on a delicate ecosystem.
Here endeth the lesson!

"A non-native invasive species (...we all are...) ", I suppose it could indeed be true. ;)
Anyway, this landscape is a feast for the eyes and wonderfully presented!

" "A non-native invasive species (...we all are..).", I suppose it could indeed be true. ;) "

What I meant: From my point of view, what you write about the montbretia here can be easily transferred to the so-called "civilized" people. They suppress indigenous cultures that have lived or are still living in harmony with nature - and/or destroy the foundations of their livelihoods.
