EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photo print, Alan Weaving captures the vibrant and audacious ASW-4672, commonly known as Common Lantana or Bird's Brandy. Hailing from Central and South America, this mischievous plant has found its way to the picturesque landscapes of Grahamstown in Eastern Cape, South Africa. With its eye-catching purple and yellow flowers, it's no wonder why this ornamental beauty is a favorite among birds and monkeys who can't resist indulging in its delectable fruits. However, there's a catch! While our feathered friends enjoy their fruity feast, farmers beware - these tickberries are poisonous to cattle! But wait. . . there's more! This cheeky invader doesn't stop at just being an unwelcome guest; it boldly declares itself a weed in South Africa. It fearlessly infiltrates bushvelds, forests, plantation margins, watercourses, and even roadsides with unruly determination. Alan Weaving skillfully captures the essence of this invasive troublemaker through his lens. The juxtaposition of its stunning blooms against the backdrop of lush African scenery serves as a reminder that nature always finds a way to surprise us. So next time you stumble upon these tickberry-infested landscapes in Grahamstown or beyond – take a moment to appreciate Mother Nature’s sense of humor as she unleashes her own brand of botanical mischief!
