🌿 With warmer winters, invasive Curly-leaf Pondweed (Potamogeton crispus) will emerge earlier than ever! 👀 BOLO for “lasagna-noodle” leaves in cool, shallow lakes—early growth can outcompete natives. nwcb.wa.gov/weeds/curlylea… #WAPMS #invasiveplants #aquaticweeds

👻🌿 Creepy plant: Elephant’s Head! This eerie wildflower looks like tiny pink elephant heads — but don’t be fooled by its cute face. It’s a native parasitic plant, latching onto the roots of nearby grasses & sedges to steal nutrients. 😱 #WSWS #spookyplants #weirdweeds #botany
