A Weed Is A Flower In The Wrong Place

They say that a weed is a flower in the wrong place.  Makes sense as there are a lot of beautiful flowers on weeds, think daisy, dandelion, buttercup. However, there is an ever growing problem in the UK with Flowers in the wrong place that are doing damage to our natural  flora and fauna.  Species that have been introduced into the UK from foreign lands are invading with force and causing damage on a huge and very expensive scale.
