Garlic Mustard: Bin Laden Plant
Did you know that Garlic Mustard was Osama bin Laden's favorite plant? True fact. That's why I'm making a movement to rename (if only colloquially) this as Bin Lanen Plant.
These particular Bin Laden Plants are along the Metra (train) right of way. These trainside strips of unkept landscape are full of invasive weeds. Plenty of room for wildlife and useful plants, but lots and lots of invasive threatening to squeeze out the nice stuff. Like most Bin Laden Plant around, these are pretty much going to seed. Note the density of the BLP in the bottom shot -- completely crushing/terrorizing all other plants.
