welcome to fall, a.k.a. botanical apocalypse month

[solarbird]

Welcome to October! October, the month that feels like going home, the month of falling leaves, of horror movies, of Halloween, of rainy season, of no more flowers but not yet snow, of the Great Pumpkin, and of Wild Chickens. They go for the kill.

I’m in more of a Poison Ivy mood, even if DC Comics probably screwed her up too in the reboot. (<RAEG>GIVE ME BACK MY POISON IVY/HARLEY QUINN YOU ASSHOLES!</RAEG>) We spent a lot of time this past summer trying to beat back the local strangleweeds, debating over which was the leader. Now, as far as I’m concerned, it all has to end in fire, but who do you think is in charge of the Cascadian botanical apocalypse?

What are you complaining about? You're too far north for kudzu.

So far...

I'm in Cascadia, and it's the English Ivy apocalypse all the way. Granted, it occasionally forms an unholy alliance with Himalayan blackberry.

Also, "Japanese Knotweed" really ought to be added to the Cascadian list as well. I know several conservationists/habitat restorers, and it's the ONE plant they'll brig out the poison for.

Okay, added! For me, it's really the horsetail, just in terms of sheer old-school marching-monolith terror. WHY. WON'T. YOU. JUST. DIE!
