IT’S A sad day when one of the worst weeds afflicting Northern Tasmania is displayed and captioned as; "Wildflowers on the roadside at Kayena". It is the South African invader of our bushland, watsonia (The Sunday Examiner, November 20) "People and Places").
What other invaders will soon be described as native flora and fauna? The euphorbia that has engulfed our coastlines? The rice grass that has covered our estuarine shorelines? The Pacific oysters that cover our inter-tidal zones? The boneseed that dominates the dunes behind Lagoon Beach? Fallow deer will be next, perhaps? We are overrun with invading species, but please don't label them as wildflowers or native fauna.

Germany’s industrial might is to be admired, whilst Australia’s sinks deeper into the mire. One hopes the product will be infinitely better than previous unsuccessful product from this company.
