Transcription: When I look at this picture, I see a beautiful flower, but it is out of place. This is Flowering Rush. It was brought here from Europe and Asia as an ornamental water garden plant, but it has escaped into the wild and it is crowding out our native species such as bulrush, prickleweed, and arrowhead. Many non-native plants are pretty, but they displace our native species in degraded fish and wildlife habitat.
