RE: [Aroid-l] Great Pistia!

From: "ron" <ronlene at bellsouth.net> on 2004.08.30 at 15:13:03(12118) A plant in the wrong place is not invasive unless it starts to replace the native plants in these places. It is just called a "weed". We have plenty of those, unfortunately. A good example is Oxalis. In its present form, it would have great difficulty replacing its neighbors, but it is indeed usually a pest. Before I get to many complaints, there are some species of Oxalis that make beautiful potted plants. As for Humans, some think they can be invasive also.

Its just that if "WE" don't want the plant --its a threat- invasive-in the "wrong place."On the other hand IF man wants a new plant in his domain (such as RICE from China) then it is no threat nor is it invasive. Perhaps you will agree US HUMANS are realitively new on this earthly scene.--I HATE kudzu as much as you do!! _______________________________________________ Aroid-l mailing list Aroid-l@gizmoworks.com http://www.gizmoworks.com/mailman/listinfo/aroid-l _______________________________________________ Aroid-l mailing list Aroid-l@gizmoworks.com http://www.gizmoworks.com/mailman/listinfo/aroid-l
