Hopefully it belongs to the botanic garden, then it won't be a problem.

Yes, here it's not as freezing as in Norway so I think this specie could survive in Denmark since it can live in Great Britain.
Stian Waaler
True, but i don't think they would survive the winter in Denmark even though it's not that cold in Denmark like it's here in Norway at winter.

Yea wouldn't be nice to get another invasion species. Thanks for all the IDs :)
Stian Waaler
Hard to tell. Someone could have dumped it there. But hopefully it belongs to the botany garden ;) Great pictures by the way!

Hi Stian! It was in a small lake in Copenhagen. It's a park where the botany garden is so I'm not sure if it has been dumped by someone or the park holders keep it there.
