We can all groove to the pretty flowers. Are we prepared to debate the issues with invasive exotics?
There are few ecosystems left where we can see the results of evolving ecology that aren't overwhelmed by the results of human impact. Our food crops dominate the landscape. Even ornamental plants are overwhelming the native ecosystems. Humans have a priority list when it comes to life and comfort. Those priorities are rarely mindful of nature.
