At the back of the Frog Pond (from my home), the NW corner. Who planted this exotic plant in the nature preserve? Why? Please, people, learn to enjoy, without imposing your will on the natural world every time. Leave nature a little room to breathe. 5/8/2021, 7:39 am. ps Speaking of imposing one's will: I have since pulled all of the French Broom I could find near here. (A little is visible in the upper left of this photo.) French Broom is an aggressive exotic plant, and can drive out natives.
