Garlic mustard
Alliaria petiolata
43.6036, -79.5575
Field Notes
Description:
Tall, thin green stems lined with jagged-edged, heart-shaped flowers. Clusters of small white flowers sit at the top.
Habitat:
Growing in Etobicoke Valley Park, near a creek's edge. The plant is found in numerous places in the valley, but this cluster was growing where brush lining the waters edge met the cut lawn of baseball diamonds.
Notes:
This image captures the final moments of this bit of garlic mustard's life. An invasive species in these parts, I took the pictures during a community stewardship event ( http://www.trcastewardshipevents.ca/ ). Annual garlic mustard pulls are held in an effort to eventually clear the valley of the plant.
