Highly invasive Caragana

It's now after 1:45 in the morning on 14 March 2015 and I have just finished my work on a couple of photo request projects. My plan is for a day out with a group of friends, IF I wake up in time. Still have to get all my things ready before I can fall into bed. Decided to upload my "daily three" at this unearthly hour instead of just before I leave.

Caragana is an invasive species that is doing a lot of damage in this city, preventing native species of plants from growing. Also known as Siberian Peashrub. This hardy shrub is a native of Siberia, as the name implies.

"Useful for shelterbelts, but should be kept out of natural areas, where it may spread. Dense groves of Caragana exclude almost all other vegetation."
