Good to know they're not going unchecked. Looking forward to more treats from around those parts as spring kicks in good and proper!

Thanks Craig. I was in the field and couldn't remember the species. I've actually done control work on L. japonicum and L. microphyllum. Wouldn't want others to get them confused either!

Nice spot! I suggested the species name because this is a native to the US and endangered in some states, whereas the other Lygodium in the states L. japonicum is an invasive weed.
